Okay..this might stir things up a bit, but in this day and age, don't you think it is almost like being illiterate not having a computer????

Not so much. I know some highly intelligent people that don't have a computer in their home. I also know a few boneheads that cherish their home computer because it's their main source for porn. They might be better served actually reading rather than surfing the net.

How many times have you stopped at the intersection of 395/30A, get ready to make your turn, and suddenly have to stop because a cyclist/bicyclist did not stop for traffic??? Just rode on through without any concern for their personal safety.

Given that this thread long ago devolved into another rant against cyclists (usually referred to as Lance wannabees) on 30A, here's the irony:

Every time that's happened to me, it's been Ma, Pa, and all the little peepers on their beach cruisers on the bike path who blithely pedaled out, often without looking, expecting not to get squashed. Can't say I ever recall that happening to me with a "cyclist", i.e. a serious rider on a lightweight road bike who is riding on 30A, not the path. Not to say it hasn't happened to someone else, but I go through that particular intersection several times each day.

Based on what I see regularly, spandex clad folk can be as oblivious to the stop signs/intersections as the beach cruisers.

Newsflash!!

The Beach Breeze/Defuniak Herald has a full article in this week's edition- front page.

The article uses the initial SoWal.com post to tell the story of what happened, then quotes Floridagirl from her initial post, then identifies her by name.

Guess the article's writer, was as horrified as the rest of us over what happened AND Floridagirl's comments!

Link please!!!

Though I certainly don't approve that she was "outed" via her Sowal name in local press.

There must be a trail....isn't she running for a local office? Even someone as computer illiterate as I could figure it out. ;-)
 
This, I gotta see.
