Here is another reason to wear a helmet … in case someone shoots at you!!!
Yesterday a motorist shot at a cyclist in Asheville, North Carolina. Reason for shooting? The shooter was “upset” because the cyclists was biking on a busy road with his child. (the kid was in a kiddie seat). What a humanitarian.
His logic: “Someone is doing something that I think is dangerous, therefore I should try to kill them.” Wow.
Thankfully, the bullet got lodged in the guys helmet, and he was fine. But I bet his kid was upset. Can you imagine if someone shot your dad during a family bike ride?
The shooter is being charged with attempted murder, and he’ll probably end up behind bars. What a waste.
If this guy ever gets out of jail, he should be forced to bicycle everywhere he goes. That might help reform him. Maybe he could even enter the annual Penal Tour de France for convicts.
