Prominent BTC Coach and Race Director, Danny Haralson, was the victim of a hit and run yesterday while training on his bicycle. Danny is OK! He is banged up and at home with a few cracked ribs. But this event could have easily turned out much worse. ANYONE riding or running on Lakeshore at Wildwood should find another route or be EXTREMELY careful, riding or running in a group of more than 4 for safety's sake. PLEASE consider routes that are specifically designated for riding or running as primary for your training. Let's face it, between motorist that just do not want us on the road at all and the ones not paying attention because they are on thier cell phones, statiscally the odds are against us having a safe ride or run on busy roads. Whether daytime, dawn, dusk, foul weather, or at night, you need to be seen by others. Wearing white is not as good as wearing neon, fluorescent, or other bright colors when riding or running day or night. Also wear something that reflects light, such as reflective tape or markings, or flashing lights. Remember, just because you can see a driver doesn’t mean the driver can see you. Also, try to be precictable in your movement. Stay in a straight line and on a straight path as much as possible. If you are riding, wear a helmet. Danny had one on and it is now cracked all the way across! That helmet saved him from having a severe head trauma. Pass this information on to not only your riding and running friends, but anyone that drives. We need to make drivers aware that we are out there and appreciate them being considerate of us. And we need to be safety minded and considerate of them as well.
