Biking Headlines in the News
Saturday, January 31st, 2009Here are some bike-related headlines from the past couple days.
Ghost Bike Driver Waives Exam
Kimberly Dancy waived her rights to an exam this week. Dancy is accused of the hit-and-run accident on Woodward that killed a Detroit bicyclist.
Dancy’s waiving of her preliminary exam in Royal Oak’s 44th District Court amounts to “a concession that there was probably cause” for the felony charges, Royal Oak City Attorney Dave Gillam said.
Earlier this month, she dropped her lawsuit against the Royal Oak police that sought to force the return of her Jeep Liberty, Gillam said.
Dancy is going before Oakland County Circuit Judge Lisa Gorcyca on Monday.
This story was even picked up in the Chicago Tribune.
Polly Ann Trail Upgrade
The Polly Ann Trail is being extended in Orion Township as we reported earlier (though it appears the costs have changed.)

Someone recently stole Former President Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter’s bikes in Atlanta. On the Daily Show this week, Jon Stewart presented Carter with two new bikes. It was great watching his genuine gratefulness.
