Critical Mass Augusta: Uncle Sam struck by van
October 16, 2008
It looks like critical mass is starting to finally occur in downtown, Augusta. They’re traditionally held on Friday afternoons (and during the day right?), but this one occured last night with about a group of 20 or so riders.
from wrdw’s website:
A bicyclist, dressed as Uncle Sam, is recovering after a van hits him on the corner of Broad Street and 15th Street in downtown Augusta.
Witnesses say he hurt his leg, but they believe he will recover. A fellow rider says Uncle Sam, who is a student at the Medical College of Georgia, just needs a few stitches.
It happened around 8:30 Wednesday night as he was riding with a group of about 25 other people also riding bikes in costume.
