Come to find out I know the victims wife. She worked at the Red Apple grocery that used to be two blocks from my house. Nice family and he seemed to be a really nice guy the couple of times I spoke with him. They only live about 3 blocks from me. Seems when something happens to someone in a small town like ours we are connected some way. Thats two deaths of folks I know this week, my neighbor lady 53 passed away Tuesday.

Here's the latest on the cyclist death.
This just burns me. They left him on the road to die. Just drove away!
And the rider in the car is still hiding!
You know what the sentence should be?
After release from prison. NO DRIVING FOR FIVE YEARS!
Only commuting by bicycle!
Grrrrr....
