Bicyclists on the road

Myself of all people will be the first to tell you that I do not like bicyclists on the road. In fact, I HATE bicyclists on the road.
 
Now it is a little bit better or more tolerable because there are bicycle lanes on the side of the road.

But really, why would you ride a bike on the side of the road with cars that could KILL you whooshing by you with many people who do not pay attention when driving. Seriously why?! That is so unsafe.

It is unsafe for the driver but even more, it is unsafe for bicyclists. Use the freakin’ sidewalks!

The reason I am ranting about bicyclists on the road is because recently there has been an article that was reported of a driver hitting a bicyclist and the bicyclist was stuck in his car and he just kept driving.  Like what?! No matter how many times you read that last paragraph you are still mindblown. How could someone do that? The world may never know what is wrong with some people.

In Manitowac, Wisconsin, the man who was hit spoke out about the incident.

According to an article that can be found here:

“A Wisconsin man who became lodged in the windshield of a car that struck him said he turned to the driver and said, "Hello, I'm the guy you hit on the bicycle."

The driver did not respond, but continued on, running a stop sign and hitting another vehicle before he arrived home, the cyclist, Steven Gove, told HTR Media about the Saturday incident.

The man finally noticed Gove when he stopped the car outside his home.”

Still my mind goes what?!

How could someone hit someone and then continue to not notice?

What I want to know is was this man intoxicated? Really? Hitting someone on a bike, not noticing, running a stop sign and then hitting another car then getting home and realizing all of this?

This man had to be intoxicated.  Am I the only one that thinks this?

In another case similar to this in Green Bay, Wisconsin, a man was charged with fifteen years of prison time for hitting a bicyclist and driving home with the biker in their windshield. However in this case the biker was killed instantly.

Do you think this person should be charged the same? I do but I want to know what you think.
