Idiot was probably drunk and waited until he sobered up to turn himself in.


I will preempt Frank and agree in advance with his anguish over the author's focus on helmet use.

That article is ten steps backwards for cyclists -- they wore a helmet; they rode on bicycle trails to avoid dangerous traffic, etc. The suggestion is that if they did not do those things, they would be responsible for getting hit by a (probably) drunk driver -- or a lying driver, something. "No one knows why the couple eschewed the trails Monday and rode on the Memorial Causeway." Yikes, god forbid someone ride a bike on a road. There is an adjacent path, but I could see not wanting to ride that if you're cranking on a tandem. Straight, flat . . .

Yeah, this lends credence to Frank's fear of the danger danger plot. But
it's the author's POV. At least the guy was charged with two felonies.
