Spring Training - watch out for flying objects and arm yourself.

Posted on March 20th, 2009

From Hal Miller - Thursday evening a cyclist was assaulted while traveling on the greenbelt between diversion dam and Sandy Point State Park. This is the area of greenbelt where a concrete dividing wall exists between the road and the greenbelt. At roughly 5:30 PM a late model (07/08) black Chevy Silverado four door pick-up truck slowed down and started verbally abusing the cyclist when he was on solo training ride. The person in the truck then threw an object destroying the fork and sending the cyclist to ground and into the retaining wall destroying his bike and sending him to the hospital. Unfortunately the police don’t have enough information(isn’t that why they have detectives??) but we would like to warn our fellow cyclists that someone is truely out to hurt folks.
