An Ohio City bike shop owner is still feeling the effects of a hit-and-run crash that has the Cleveland cycling community pushing yet again for a safer environment on city streets.
“I saw just out of the corner of my eye, headlights coming right at me at a pretty good clip. I tried to actually speed up to get through but didn’t have enough time. A car hit me on the left side toward the back of the bike. I went down pretty hard on my left side. I cut my face,” Nosse told 19 News.
He said the driver blew through a red light. Surveillance video from a nearby business appears to show the car running through the light before hitting Nosse.Other than lingering soreness, his injuries were minor.“As much as I hate to say it, I feel like our infrastructure as far as bike and pedestrian safety is extremely behind the times,” he told 19 News. “There just aren’t that many roads that feel that safe to ride a bike on.
After he was released from the hospital, Nosse posted a series of messages on social media about the incident and the need for changes. “I don’t want this to be a narrative about bikes being unsafe. Bikes are not inherently unsafe. People who blow red lights at full speed are a scourge on society. They would have hit any vehicle or person traveling through the intersection at that moment,” he wrote.
Well folks, less than 2 weeks later, it happened. Leaving the shop last night, I was hit by a driver who ran a red light at full speed at the Lorain&Fulton intersection, notably one of the least safe on the near west side.
