A cyclist-ANOTHER-cyclist was killed this week.
STARRS and bekindtoCyClists have both posted rewards, since the driver who killed the man stopped to get the bike out from under the car but but left the cyclist in the street to die.
We don't know much. We know it happened about 12:25 a.m. We know it was a man named Stacy Palmer, who apparently biked darn near everywhere (not at all uncommon in Flour Bluff), we know he was riding with traffic, and we know he was hit by a green GM passenger vehicle.
But we don't know if it was intentional, we don't know if it was a drunk driver.
We do know that this wasn't the first cyclist hit-and-run, and it probably won't be the last. It's just a bike-unfriendly town, and it's a real shame. It's an even bigger shame that it takes tragedies like this one to bring attention to the plight of cyclists here.
No more Jesse De Leons. No more Barb Savells. No more Stacy Palmers.
Stay safe out there.
Wow! That is really horrible. So tragic for Stacy and his loved ones and so sad that a fellow human being could be so callous.
ReplyDeleteIt's especially horrific that it just KEEPS happening.
ReplyDeleteI hope this time they catch the person who did it, at least. Maybe if nothing else it'll spur our City Council in to considering the Safe Passing Ordinance.
