Good idea: Offer a reward for info about a hit-and-run bicycle death.

Bad idea: Suggest that drivers who kill cyclists will not be charged as long as they stop to report the incident.

From The Oklahoman, today’s winner of cycling-insensitive prose.

The day after Spencer’s [hit-and-run] death, [another] bicyclist Clyde Riggs was struck and killed by a car while riding in the 5100 block of E Britton Road. That motorist stopped, and no charges were filed.

And in case there’s any doubt about whether a car driver would do a callous hit-and-run in this instance, we’ve been there and it happened. Back in the early ’80s we were cut off on a curve while riding east down Woodside Road (Highway 84). The driver left us for dead.

Or you can Google it.
