It was a bad day and evening for cyclists across the nation.

A bum on a yellow cruiser was perhaps [under investigation]
purposefully run down from behind and dragged a mile to his
demise. A Chicago cyclist was fatally t-boned at an
intersection while another was hit from behind and dragged
to death.

Besides cyclists there were more than the usual horrific
stories last evening including a woman freed after four days
of torture in Akron from a repeat kidnapper.
