Today, at least where I live was bike and walk to school day. I live pretty far out in the middle of now where, but my little sister really wanted to bike to school. She biked last year with me, so my parents were fine with it. (I would have this year but my school is an hour a way and I've been dancing 5 hours a day and not getting home until after 11.)
So at the end of our little road, she met up with friends on a still small but paved road. There were a good number of them, enough to be seen from very far away considering the road is flat and straight. However, they are conscientious and bike no more than 2 in a row.
Here's where my rant really starts. They were biking and some idiot speeds by in his car. My sister swerves to avoid him, which sends her flying off her bike, 5 feet of the road, down a 10 foot bank, head first into a shallow river.
The only good thing seems to be that she landed in a deep enough place, that she didn't break her neck or otherwise kill herself.
The bad? She doesn't actually remember what happened. Her Back hurts. She got a ride home with a random young couple. But what irks me the most? The stupid idiot (insert explicates here) didn't even stop to see if she was ok.
As if it's not enough to speed on a small road with tons of kids age 5-13 biking to school, you could at least stop to see if you can help when you cause someone to almost get killed. As Margaret put it, "I don't understand people sometimes..."
