Coeur d’Alene Police are seeking information on a hit-and-run accident between a bicyclist and jogger on the Centennial Trail earlier this month. According to a Coeur d’Alene Police report, the victim, Lisa Holmes, was running westbound on the Centennial Trail along Mullan Avenue when she was hit by a bicyclist traveling at a high rate of speed. “I had been out running 6 miles that day,” she said, explaining that she was running along Silver Beach. “I was on my way back and turned left on Mullan Avenue.” She said when she approached 17th Street facing traffic, she heard someone yell “on your left” from behind her so she stepped to the right to give bicyclist room to pass, but hit her at full speed and they both fell to the ground/Jeff Selle, Coeur d'Alene Press.

Question: I don't know which type of bike rider is worse -- the clowns who don't warn you that they're approaching from the rear or the ones who do and then blast by you full speed, whether you move or not. One fool rider was yelling a warning to walking partner Greg Lee and me last week that he was on our right and then was miffed because we didn't react soon enough. The fool didn't realize that another rider was approaching in front of us on the other side. Sharing the road is a two-way street -- and too many bicyclists are clueless re: laws that apply to them. Thoughts?
