One of our local roadies was hit today. Then they left the scene. I know Perry. He is one of the biggest cycling advocates in the area. It just pisses me off to no end.

I hope they catch the hit and run. This is why I recommend cameras for all riders. It's way too easy for drivers (who always 'win' these encounters) to just drive away.

Hope your friend recovers.
