Augusta Dangerous for Cycling?
Richmond County has been battling an unwanted bicycle accident record
this year after the 37 bicycle accidents in the county in 2010. Of those
37 wrecks involving bikes last year, one was fatal.
A report last Thursday, August 11, put the county at 30 accidents involving
bicycles for 2011. The report came on the heels of an accident that killed
a local Dr. being killed August 1st while he was commuting to work on
Belair Road and a second accident on August 8th that placed another cyclist
in critical condition. Local Officials are anxious to determine the issues
that have lead to this high rate of accidents. The community is looking
at top cities across the U.S. that are bicycle friendly and hoping the
county will be able to improve cyclists' safety.
