I don't remember his name, but he said that he bikes to work everyday in Alaska, and I think he even worked at a bike shop; in Anchorage or just outside of it. He does long bike rides most summers, often solo, but he mentioned having done some with others before. His wife was flying down to meet him in Vegas (or maybe it was at the beginning of the trip in San Fran) . . . He ate a ton at the Ely McDonald's; was incredibly friendly.

The sample size is too small to know for sure, atleast around here.

Back to the original article, the driver will be charged with felonies, as he should, IMO.

Attach a 100 yard rope to each arm and leg. Put the 4 best time trialists in the world, and attach the other end to their bikes. At the gun, each bicyclist goes into a full sprint. You would need a very big concrete lot, or go out to the salt flats to do this properly. Rope might have too much elasticity. You might need metal cables. Btw, "former doctor" means he might have lost his license and been censured by the medical board. |

These guys should sue the hell out of him in civil court. Sue the LAPD while they are at it, for not responding to the first incident. |
