Update: State corrected; thank you to James for the note.
In the Greenville, North South Carolina area a motorist in a white pickup truck has been harassing cyclists on local roads. Several cyclists report being buzzed and swerved into by the white pickup truck.
One enterprising cyclist apparently tracked the truck down and posted details about the residence of the white pickup driver. From the website:
There are two teenage brothers residing at the address that match the descriptions that have been given. There is also a white Ford Ranger registered at the address. The teens are described as Caucasian males of heavier build in their late teens, maybe early twenties. The suspect address is 410 Dividing Waters, owned by Tammy G. Bryant. The house is a large, newer home of 2755 sq. ft. tax valued at $186,000. The house sticks out compared to the homes around it because of it’s large size and newness. It is on the west side of Dividing Water near the top of the climb. There used to be a large confederate flag hanging in one of the top windows of the home. This is not the house with the skulls and zillion “No Tresspassing” and “You will be Shot on the Spot” signs. That house is on the opposite of the road. One or more junk race cars have been seen in the front yard.
James, who posted this website to his Bike Greenville blog, encourages local cyclists to let law enforcement do their job. It should be interesting to see what happens in this case of cyclist harassment.
Here’s something for Sue. Safe Turn is a wrist-mounted automatic turn signal for cyclists. You strap the Safe Turn light to your wrist. When you raise your arm to signal a turn, a tilt switch activates the three flashing LEDs. (And we all signal our turns, right?)
