If there are no charges and it appears that the motorist is at fault, bicyclists and their supports should make themselves heard when Mike Freeman, Hennepin County Attorney, comes up for election.

Something like 20 percent of the bicycles are stolen and resold by junkies. One of the reasons most people ride cheap bicycles.
