10/18/2009 Entry: "biking Eugene" A quick update to the article I posted yesterday using aggregate information from several crappy short web articles and sketchy comments. Apparently it was night (dark) out on a county road and the biker had no light. He also had all his possessions in a sleeping bag on his bike. The driver that struck him had a suspended license due to multiple DUI's. He thought he had hit a deer which is why he didn't stop. According to multiple online comments he's a super nice guy and it was an accident. I wonder if the biker's homelessness had anything to do with the verdict as well. Yes, biking on a highway at night is freakin' dumb - but so is driving with a suspended license. I also doubt the guy was sober, and this could easily be a story he cooked up to avoid getting piss tested after the accident. It's tragic on both sides, but the guy shouldn't have been driving anyway and already had proven to be dangerous driver by his multiple DUI's. That being said, with reasonable doubt and all that I can see why the judge did what he did. (Not that I agree with it.) The system is fucked. Who knows what the correct response is? I know that if was someone who I knew accidentally killed someone with their car that I'm sure I'd feel differently. People need to understand the danger they put themselves and others in when they drive multi-ton vehicles at highway speeds, both legally and physically. On brighter news I've put up a gallery of neat things I see while biking around Eugene. The current theme is bike specific traffic devices like this one: Yay! More later.
