Bruce Hermann owns a bicycle shop in North Carolina that specializes in recumbents and E-bikes. Bruce was hit from behind at 35 mph by a motorist who failed to slow down. Bruce was not at fault and had lights and the required safety equipment on his bike. Bruce was in a coma for 3 weeks and was not expected to live. Bruce is recovering and can now walk. He is building an E-trike so he can ride again. The accident report number is 0909138. The report can be viewed at http://www.wspd.org. Bruce was hit by Kathryn Compton residing at 129 Westmont Dr., Winston Salem, NC 27104. She did $800.00 worth of damage to her vehicle.
Bicyclists were shocked when the Winston Salem Journal published an article today that the police will not issue a traffic citation to the driver who hit Bruce. I recommend that our members send an E-mail to the W-S Chief of Police, Scott Cunningham, chief@wspd.org and ask that drivers who break the law and hit cyclists receive traffic violation citations. I have written a letter to the editor at the Winston-Salem Journal.
