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 http://ckdp.ca/wordpress_ckdp/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/stop-sign1.jpg 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.

I just heard on the radio that more tickets were issued. sounds like they are starting to crack down. as Ann mentioned we can educate by example. <http://cksyfm.com/2010/08/05/cyclists-issued-tickets-warnings/#postcommen... Add Comment <http://cksyfm.com/2010/08/05/cyclists-issued-tickets-warnings/> image&h=150>&f=png"> Nine cyclists received tickets last night for riding their bikes on the sidewalk. Another four young riders were given cautions during the by-law enforcement by Chatham-Kent Police in downtown Chatham. The blitz was held in response to an incident a few weeks ago, when a two-year-old boy ended up with a broken leg after being hit by a cyclist.

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?
