Was he
wearing a helmet, headphones and under the influence of drugs or
alcohol? Hello? To get hit twice. I think he should buy a
lottery ticket… oh wait, he has to pay for the ticket CKPS finally
issued. Ya, CKPS. Keep up the good work.
Cyclist…
maybe he needs some group counselling on Wednesday nights? May a little
CAN Bike refresher course?

Re: [CKcycle] Anybody see this???.
Randy,
Are you saying you completely ignore
Stop signs? Shame on you! J
Nah! While we tend to read STOP as
YIELD (legally not correct but neither is a rolling stop), we’re prepared to
stop if something’s coming. To be hit twice at the same intersection means
this guy, for whatever reason, was ignoring the sign
completely.
Glad to see CKPS eventually issued the
ticket to add insult to his bruised ego!
James.

Cyclist struck after running stop sign
Shortly after 6:00 p.m. yesterday, a man riding a bicycle failed to stop
for a stop sign at the intersection of Selkirk Street and Elizabeth Avenue in
Chatham. While in the intersection, he was struck by a vehicle that did not
face a stop sign (this intersection is a two-way stop – vehicles travelling
Selkirk have to stop but vehicles travelling on Elizabeth do not). The cyclist
was not injured.
The cyclist, a 29-year-old Chatham man has been charged with failing to
stop for a stop sign.
The investigation revealed that the same cyclist had been struck by a
motorcycle at the same intersection on July 26, 2010. He attended the
Chatham-Kent Health Alliance to be treated for minor injuries. On that day, he
was charged with failing to stop for police to identify
himself.
The Chatham-Kent Police reminds all cyclists that the Highway Traffic Act
defines a bicycle as a vehicle. Cyclists are therefore required to obey all
traffic laws just as drivers do.
