You need to own up. Someone in that group needs to do the right thing. You don't leave an old lady this injured and not get help after you hit her.

Obviously, it was a vehicular cyclist, because this bicycle driver acted very much like too many automobile drivers in fleeing the scene.

ABC's report is very shy on the details, though. A cyclist in Renton ( just south of Seattle ) hit an old lady on an MUP, stayed around, and wasn't charged with any wrong doing, although they've since lowered the speed limits. If this cyclist is ever found, he probably sealed his fate by "running."

I'm going to guess that this statement is done in sarcasm, and not your actual belief.

What normal, decent human being would run down an old lady, then just pedal on?
"My fault, sorry." Yeah, right.
It's Rectal Orifices like him that gives all bicyclists a bad name.

Clearly meant in jest, but people could think it was serious, so...

No vehicular cyclist would be caught dead on a mixed use path. Any vehicular cyclist knows that mixed use paths are death traps (for cyclists and pedestrians), as this story proves.
