Reader....I guess I still don't get your point or or comments relevance to this story.

Are you saying kids shouldn't follow the laws and ride unsafe as they're going to get killed anyway? Please explain your logic.report abuse

Boy Mr. Wright seemed overly observant to have said goodbye to someone in the parking lot, and watched as she went to the white line and looked both ways. I don't know about you, but when I am headed in or out of George's after I say goodbye to a friend I head into the store or into my car. I don't stop and stare to see if that person has stopped and looked both ways. Either he is a friend of the Janet Wheeler, or he likes his name in the paper.
And another thing I was walking in a cross walk up Madison Ave and someone pulled right in front of me to get down the road. There was a police cruiser right behind her and neither paid any attention. If I had been two steps further she would have hit me. It is my opinion that very few people in this town look for pedestrians or bikers.
And reader, have you not figured out that people are tired of you rambling on. But I am sure you are on your computer, on welfare, that is why you hate state employees, typing constantly because you have nothing better to do. Everyone who actually lives in Skowhegan knows that your advice is worthless. Maybe you should move on to a paper in another state.report abuse

The point?..

The one bicyclist that was killed up in Somerset County was wearing a helmet,obeying the laws of the road,biking etiquette and safety,doing all...and again he was killed anyways.

And by a drunk driver.
And by a drunk driver that did little or no time for taking a life.

Obey the laws of the road and get killed anyways. So typical Somerset County.report abuse
