Actually, to be more precise, the motorists convicted Chip of three separate charges of impeding traffic. What’s more, there is a fourth charge, in another jurisdiction, still pending. Chip has not actually found out what the roulette wheel of charges has stopped upon on the last charge. It’s changed at least three times so far, from the original one of “riding a bicycle on the road.”

One thing I found inspirational is that there was one professional driver in the arrest cam videos. An 18 wheeler that passed Chip in the rain, on the scary highway without any hint of drama or brake action of any kind, though I’m sure it looked very scary to the jury. Myself, I wanted to stand up and cheer at the smooth action of a professional on the job. I was just a spectator and maintained decorum. I’ll take riding with the big rigs over the hybrids any day of the week.

Way to raise the profile of this case, Keri. I hope everybody who reads about it and is concerned spreads the word that something bad has gone down, because it isn’t over for him or any of us.

Makes me glad I have the copy of Florida Bicycle Law Enforcement Guide and Florida Bicycle Street Smarts.

A “jury of motorists…” That gave me a laugh.
