Description

I am not sure exactly where on the island this happened. I am not sure the exact circumstances. I am sure that this is just another example of either distracted driving or even worse an example of malicious intent against a cyclist. This account is via Facebook from Suzanne Custer. Probably nothing can be done after the fact but just wanted to have this incident on the record.

Man, I am shaking. I almost got nailed. As I was riding home from Publix carrying an extra full load, a white truck with "Venice Rentals" written on the back, flew by me and almost knocked me over. He/she sped across Harbor into Gulf Shores. Instead of trying to chase him down, I decided to post about the company. "Very UnCool Venice Rental Company." Slow down!
One of the tail lights is out; I am too disoriented to remember which one. Hopefully the Venice Police see it and pull him over.
I ride everyday because it is my mode of transportation. Very seldom do I ride solely for recreation. Today I had to navigate the Center rd 41 bypass intersection to pick up my insulin at Walgreens. Every time, I have to yell stop to the cars to let me get across. Once people are behind the wheel they don't SEEM to care about anyone else on the road. We are all trying to get some where. Ha ha I am ranting. I guess a little too much flight fight feelings today. I will chill now. Lol!
