I suppose there is some sort of point you are trying to articulate? That cyclists
are maniacs on the road, reckless reprobates oblivious to their surroundings?
Everyone knows that!

I have a similar story from the early 60s at Ohio Wesleyan. We were
coming in from an easy road run down a slight grade into town running on
the road near th
at a great
feeling. Moral of story - look both ways before you pull out.

Well I was in the group that it happened to,
and "did it", in 1976 in Troy, Alabama.
I suspect that, given enough stories of drunk
people swerving at runners, runners have
picked up on the 'revenge' angle, and done it
(running over a car or pickup trick) whenever
they have the opportunity, as just
John Parker told the story of Shorter and Bacheler in both non-fiction
and fiction ("Once a Runner") versions, as I recall. No spikes though, just
running shoes - and red necks. That really happened, to the best of my
recollection, and all the other versions have followed from it. Geoff
