TO THE LADY in the green minivan on Big Coppitt Key: I know it would have been too exhausting to turn your head to the right to check for traffic before zooming out into U.S. 1. Luckily for you, I managed to crash my bike rather than become a Bug Splat on your windshield. But you saw me crash - your mouth fell open in surprise - and you kept going. I imagine you were scared that you might have really hurt me. As it is, not much harm done to me or bike, just the same old skin scraped off the same old elbow. But by driving on, you turned your probably-not-even-a-traffic-ticket into a felony hit and run, and unluckily for you, your middle-aged victim noted all six digits of your license plate. The Monroe County Sheriffs Department is looking for you now. Have a great day!
