Oconee County, GA Politics

What is with the intolerance of bicycle riders on New High Shoals Road? I know at least three families with very competitive athletes who pedal great distances all the time.  People need to keep their animals controlled and do not need to instigate violence directed toward those on bicycles.

I am saddened but not terribly surprised that some BRAG bicyclists were injured on New High Shoals this morning . I hope that they recover from their injuries and that the driver will be a little more careful next time they pull out into traffic. It may be premature Wednesday morning quarterbacking, but I really hate it that Watkinsville and Oconee County would be besmirched with the distressing distinction of being the only place where bike riders have been injured in the history of this bike ride across the state.
