This is awful and I hope we can figure out the alleged humans who attempted these three attacks in our front yards. This is from Facebook:
Cycling friends be careful out there. Note from yesterday.
Alert
for Oconee County: Today on Elder Road, halfway between New High Shoals
and Highway 53 (Hog Mountain Road) at approximately 2:30 pm, a dark
maroon, recent edition, 2 door Chevrolet Silverado with partial license
plate believed to be “3512-AM_ _” intentionally attempted to harm four
road bikers traveling in a group. The truck honked
continuously while passing and then nearly hit the front rider. The
truck then proceeded 30 meters ahead and slammed on its brakes, skidding
in the process. The truck then shifted into reverse, the tires peeled
against the pavement and tried to hit the riders while in reverse. The
truck then skidded for the third time to a stop. The driver again put
the truck into gear, the tires again peeled out and attempted to hit the
riders for a third time. The truck also had a “North Oconee” sticker in
its rear window. Fortunately, the riders are safe and their bikes are
undamaged, though the truck did manage to hit a glancing blow to a rear
bike tire of one of the riders. Obviously, this is a person to be
avoided, if he passes please be prepared to stay out of his way. The
Oconee County Sheriff’s Office dispatched two vehicles to the scene of
the incident. If you have any information on this vehicle or person,
please contact the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office (864) 638-4111.
