Get up on the sidewalks before you die like dogs with helmets on, grinning
your heads off in the bike lane with a Warm Fuzzy Secure Bike-Lane Feeling
while Ignorant Children run you down while typing on the cell phones their
daddies got them to go with their SUVs for their 16th birthdays...

I bet the Dead Old Bastard in the stories in this series wishes he had been
up on the sidewalk... They can Write You a Million Tickets but they can only
Kill You Once.

Story follows (this is the Outcome, the last of the three links above):

CASTLE ROCK, Colo. -- A teenager who was text messaging when he lost control
of his vehicle and struck and killed a cyclist has pleaded guilty to
careless driving causing death.

Douglas County sheriff's Lt. Alan Stanton said that Jim R. Price, 63, was
riding his bicycle in a bicycle path Nov. 23 when he was hit by the teen's
car near Wildcat Reserve Parkway and Summit View.

District attorney spokeswoman Kathleen Walsh said the 17-year-old was
sentenced to four years probation. He will not be allowed to operate a motor
vehicle or possess a cell phone during that time.

The teen will be in home detention, be required to wear an ankle bracelet,
and serve nine days in jail.

The teen must also perform 300 hours of community service, pay $2,600 in
fines and court costs.
