Even if he had a mirror on his bike or helmet, I doubt he would have either known what to do or had time to take evasive maneuvers to avoid being hit. It was probably a poor choice of places to take a novice rider. School administrator charged after hit-and-run involving bicyclist on Natchez Trace Parkway
