I think it should be a wake up call for people like A.J. Speiler to wake up when they are driving and pay attention to the road. Because of one man's stupidity, a brilliant man has passed.

I have not read the charges that the police said were pending against the driver, who is apparently A.J. Speiler, the name given on another post.

I have not read the Winston paper every day so maybe I missed it.

Were any charges filled or was this another "oh, well" just another dead bike rider. Was this clown talking on his cell ? Did the police check it ?

I'm an avid road bike rider and feel the need to know what happened.

I know what you mean. Most people won't even slow down for the oncoming traffic to protect themselves much less slow down to keep from running over someone on a bicycle. It amazes me how wreckless some people will be just to keep from slowing down for a few seconds. There have been several times when I've seen an oncoming car have to be the one to slow down to keep from getting hit head-on. And then there's the people that won't move over an inch to pass even with no oncoming cars.

Daily Horoscope for December 17

Leo

If you're going to a festive party or gathering today you'll have a great time. It will be good to see some old faces and nice to meet some new ones. Don't be shy about breaking the ice if you spot someone you'd like to know better, as with Mars in your sign dancing with Venus in fiery Sagittarius, bells will ring and fires light up. Get the last of those Christmas cards out of the way now, so they're not on your conscience.
