After waiting 40 minutes for the Philadelphia Police NOT to show up, I had given up on the reporting the accident. But my wife said as a matter of justice I should report it. So I am going to try today. I am already leaving on the late train for work, so it will be difficult, but she's right. The guy in the Lincoln SUV ran a red light then ran over the bike. He would leave the scene with a dead kid in the road.
Now some of you may wonder if I think riding in Philly more dangerous than riding with the rednecks in Southern Lancaster County.
No.
I still prefer Philly to Solanco. The fat guys in pickup trucks with faded McCain-Palin stickers on their F-150s actually hate people who use two feet of road.

I know the feeling; bicycling to and from work (Annville to Camp Hill) is safer going through Allison Hills (Harrisburg) than through Palmyra.
