\"\"\/<\/p>\n

Potential charges against the teenage driver who drove his Ford Super Duty pickup into six cyclists in Waller back in September will be announced Nov. 8, the Waller County district attorney announced Monday.<\/p>\n

The county’s top prosecutor previously said the case will be presented to a grand jury, which will determine if the 16-year-old will face criminal charges over the collision. The teen in question was allegedly attempting to billow smoke from his truck’s augmented exhaust system onto the cyclists before accelerating into their peloton on Sept. 25 as they trained along Old Highway 290 for a triathlon. Police interviewed the teen on the day of the …<\/p>\n

1,000 Miles to Go to My 2021 Bicycling Goal<\/a><\/h2>\n

A Dude Abikes | adudeabikes.com<\/h4>\n

Today I hit 4,555.5 miles on my Strava statistics. (Yes, I planned it that way.) Since I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been bicycling about 15 miles a day all this year of 2021, my 14.7-mile ride was right in my wheelhouse, so to speak. I took Sonnie the GT Arette back-up bike, since Sophie the Fairdale Weekender Archer apparently has yet another leaky tire. So she got another night off, the slacker. The point is that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m on track for my second best (by that I mean longest) year on a bicycle. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not bragging as much as just telling it like it is. But as usual I have thoughts about it. Hope you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll read them! Reading is a lot easier than biking …<\/p>\n
