Bicyclist in critical condition after being struck by car
Published: 10/22/2010 5:27 AM
A man is in critical condition after he was hit by a car while riding his bicycle across South Peoria Avenue Thursday night.
Tulsa Police Sgt. Bryan Bryden said about 10:45 p.m., the man was riding across the street at 49th Place when he was hit by the northbound car.
He was transported to St. Francis in critical condition with severe head injuries, Bryden said.
Peoria Avenue was shut down for several hours while officers investigated the accident. Traffic was rerouted around the block.
Bryden said he doesn't believe the man, who was not identified Thursday night, was wearing a helmet.

A Cool and Logical Analysis
of the Bicycle Menace
And an Examination of the Actions Necessary to License, Regulate,
or Abolish Entirely This Dreadful Peril on our Roads
by P.J. O'Rourke
Our nation is afflicted with a plague of bicycles. Everywhere the public right-of-way is glutted with whirring, unbalanced contraptions of rubber, wire, and cheap steel pipe. Riders of these flimsy appliances pay no heed to stop signs or red lights. They dart from between parked cars, dash along double yellow lines, and whiz through crosswalks right over the toes of law-abiding citizens like me.
In the cities, every lamppost, tree, and street sign is disfigured by a bicycle slathered in chains and locks. And elevators must be shared with the cycling faddist so attached to his "moron's bath-chair" that he has to take it with him everywhere he goes.
In the country, one cannot drive around a curve or over the crest of a hill without encountering a gaggle of huffing bicyclers spread across the road in suicidal phalanx.
Even the wilderness is not safe from infestation, as there is now such a thing as an off-road bicycle and a horrible sport called "bicycle-cross."
The ungainly geometry and primitive mechanicals of the bicycle are an offense to the eye. The grimy and perspiring riders of the bicycle are an offense to the nose. And the very existence of the bicycle is an offense to reason and wisdom.
