I am so sorry Mr. Schulz for your pain and your misfortune, especially since you did do the right thing. As for the rest of you who have ligitamit concerns for your safety I hope you will forgive me for hawking my own wares, but i had an accident with a food service deliverer in the middle of the night while coming home from a late church service while i was coming down a steep hill to get to my garage. He was on the side walk and i lost sight of him, and when i turned into my garage he hit my car at a high speed and catapulted to the otherside food and all.
I understand the reason he would not ride the streets but I was hysterical, he got up plead with me not to call for help and that he was alright! since then i went to work trying to create something for bikers that would get peoples attention night or day! and that means drivers of automobiles can see the lights in the front and in the back because they look a lot like their own lights with signals for left and right turns and flashing and can be seen for one mile. we will be on the market soon i hope you will be interested and we can help save lives by “BEING SEE AND BEING SAFE!” They are called PATHWAY LIGHTERS

BE WELL MR SCHULZ I’M PRAYING FOR YOU.

The driver should have been arrested and charged for reckless driving. I can’t believe there aren’t laws out there against text-messaging while driving. It should be prosecuted as severely as driving drunk. At least a drunk person would have seen the flashing lights on the bike and probably swerved out of the way. The stupid text-messaging person wasn’t even looking at the road!! That should be a major crime, people are killing others with their cars everyday because of that crap!
This makes me so mad!

as usual cops don’t think cyclist have rights either. they don’t give a fuck about a cyclist and think we are a bother and get in the way. I am getting really fucking tired of this kind of bullshit, and I don’t know what to do about it. How pissed off are people gunna be when a cyclist is rightfully taking the lane and “slowing” the motorist…especially when gas is $7 a gallon?

I’m gunna quit bitchen’ ARGGH!

I hope that chick gets sued for every dime she and her parents have.

He gets months of rehab and a lifetime of pain and discomfort. She gets a citation. That makes sense… WTF!? Those flashing red lights can be seen from over a mile away. She must have been unconscious. Her actions were criminal. I’d like to see her car have a little “accident” with a louisville slugger since the legal system obviously isn’t effective…

Lawsuit sounds good to me as well, but how about revoking the little cunt’s driver’s license, and make her ride around on a full suspension wal-mart bike for the next ten years or so. It wouldn’t take but one or two close calls with asshole motorists for bitch to figure it out. Education is just as important as citation.

…best of luck, mark schulz, you seem like an extremely sane & rational human being…i’m sure i’d be spewing a lot of venom…

…while the cop did cite her, read between the lines of what he’s saying & it’s almost like he’s apologizing for her stupidity…not only that, but he’d cite in her favor if the cyclist wasn’t up to snuff in his opinion…

…reality should come down hard on these people…”listen, you self-centered little bitch, you just seriously hurt & almost took the life of another human being, so that you could what, text a fucking message to one of your friends ???…do you have any common fucking sense in your empty fucking head ???…
…THAT should be the message from law enforcement BEFORE these incidents happen…the dmv & the schools should be offering this gentle reminder to everyone…

…cell phone calls are bad enough, but the law should be re-written in a way that in an accident, phone records can be accessed & if your retrieved text is not something in the nature of a dire emergency, criminal charges can be filed…no witnesses need be present for that situation obviously…

…do cyclists do illegal & stupid things ???…all the fucking time & a lotta them oughta clean up their acts but one on one, vehicle vs bicycle, i think you know the statistics…

…heal well & ride safely, mark…

I”m thinking the states workers compensation lawyers should use the power of money to punish someone in this mess, even if its the taxpayers it’ll get someone’s attention.

Criminal.

Guys-

Pretty mind-numbing… looking at her fucking phone while she mows down a cyclist… and gets slapped with a $50 ticket?? I hate litigation, but damn, I hope there’s a lawsuit there. Yeesh.

She was text messaging while driving and she gets cited with failure to reduce speed…
Something along the lines of criminal negligence and having her license pulled sounds more appropriate.
