Subject: Re: [Bikies] Advice for hit and run
This sounds outrageous to me: a hit-and-run that could have killed someone and
the police imply it's not worth their time... And, the driver (or at least the
car) has been located and there are witnesses. Do you have to die to get the
police to take action or is it sufficient to sustain a concussion and end up in
the ER?

One place for your friend to start is on Bob Mionske's web page:
http://www.bicyclelaw.com/
Bob is an attorney in Portland, OR specializing in bike law. His web site says
he handles bike accidents in every state and welcomes calls for free
consultation. I'm sure he knows the dangers of the E Johnson St bike lane from
the many years he lived on the Isthmus.
