Where are our laws? Maybe I should say what are the laws? My daughter-in-law was driving on Dallas Road by Conoco. There was, I guess, a bicycle race. She turned on her blinkers to make a right-hand turn into Conoco. A bicyclist hit her car! The bikers were yelling obscenities at her and she was trying to see if he needed help. This was upsetting to her and the children in the vehicle. The rider made some adjustments to his bike and left. She called the police, and the police said if he left, there was nothing that they could do, but would make a report.

Well, the guy called five days later and made a report. He wanted her to fix his bike and pay some wages. He got a lawyer and her insurance is going to pay because it's cheaper than fighting.

So watch out. We pay for the roads but the bikes have the right of way. Be careful on Badger or Dallas roads. They don't stop at the stop sign or are riding three across the road. It's OK, they have the right of way. We have all seen it.
