Moron of the Week, #13
I had trouble figuring out which one was the bigger moron: the cyclist who was leading the duo into danger or the cyclist who was blindly following.
Today, 6 p.m., on Block Line Road. There's a hill on BLR that rolls down to the stop light at Strasburg Road. The adjacent wooded hill blocks line of sight for traffic approaching from the right until you are pretty much right at the intersection.
So, booting down the hill, on the sidewalk even though there's a bike lane, come two mountain bikes ridden by a 20-something couple. The light is red, but the leader doesn't touch the brakes. Did he think it would turn green as they got there?
Anyway, he rockets through the intersection against the red, and she is right behind him.
Amazingly, no one dies, but not because of any smart move made by either cyclist.
You decide which one was the bigger moron.
