I rode today…into USR and back.
I stay the heck away from the CBD, that’s for sure.
With so many varied accidents at that location, it might be time to have an old fashion police booth and camera at that spot.
And maybe put Loyd Loving there. It would save time…
I’m glad to hear the cyclist is ok. On the other hand, if things didn’t go well, at least they could just bring him inside, put him on a slab, and get him ready for the viewing real quick.
Thats cold
And the village is considering apartments at the Sealfons building, must be nuts.
I’d reserve judgement until I knew for sure that the cyclist wasn’t in the wrong. They notorisously ignore inconvienient traffic laws, while complaining about not getting their fair share of the road.
