Get off my pip and sell salvation to the self-righteous toadies that need it.
Stop sign, not a red light. Organized ride that was very well run. 5 miles form the finish a rider ran the stop sign on the side street of the route and was tagged and tossed 25' by a car that had been traveling 50, the speed limit of the street were were crossing. I watched this as I approached that intersection. The rider was extremely lucky that the driver did a superb job shutting her speed down so the rider almost made it. I'm guessing just a few broken bones.
Sorry, Leisesturm, it took me several days to recall this.
