Abstract (Document Summary)

Editor: Re: Bicyclists, motorcyclists put us all at risk, Nov. 17 letter to the editor from Bobby Day, and his complaints and concerns about the bicyclists and motorcycle enthusiasts who share our Spring Lake area roadways.

Mr. Day, you are quick to complain, but you offer no solutions. From what you have written, you are in fact, more of a danger to us than the bicycles and motorcycles you so fear. You live in this area and travel these roads daily. You know the roads are hilly with blind curves. You see the bicyclists and motorcyclists each weekend. Yet, you admit you and your wife exceed the speed limit regularly.

We pay all the costs automobile drivers pay and are licensed by the state, and have the same rights as cars. I belong to ABATE (Freedom Chapter in Hernando), a motorcyclists' rights group, and we are always fighting to make the public aware of the dangers we face when riding.
