Augusta Dangerous for Cycling?
Richmond County has been battling a 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.
