If its a small town i wonder if law enforcement could pull up DMV Records and see how many Red Chevy trucks (05-09) are registered in the area. If it were a family member i would personally go after every lead until finding the fucker who did this.
They deserve to be prosecuted and catch a felony hit and run charge.

Had a neighbor in Tennessee that was a professional road biker and he would tell me stories of how people would throw apple cores and bags of McDonald’s at him and run him off the road. He said this is how I’m gonna for one day and sure enough he was killed 7 years ago hit from behind and the driver took off. They named a law after him in ten that says you must stay 5 feet away from bikes but bunch of red necks in the south so it doesn’t really matter. Some idiots pulled up next to one of the Honda team mechanics who was wearing a backpack and grabbed him by the backpack and drug him down the street in HB not too long ago. With everyone on their phones while driving these days I can’t think of much you could do more dangerous.

Yeah the police can pull info up on a description of a vehicle. Example 05-09 red Chevy pu, there maybe 14 registered in the county. You then seek the vehicles out. All it takes is time, I can not tell you how great it feels when you Got them. It,s worth the time and effort. Heal up Mike, sorry you had to threw that.

If the driver was under the influence he'll be off the hook for that by the time they get him.

What SENTENCE does a hit n run carry? Coupled with possible outstanding warrants?

Hit and runs in Fla can be charged as a first degree felony as well as hold the weight of up to thirty years in prison. Obviously, there is a multitude of questions that would need to be answered during the investigation. Intent, etc.

As a guy who routinely rides 15-20K km per year, holy shit Mike. So sorry to read this, literally every cyclist's worst nightmare is getting hit by a car, let alone one going 70 mph. Reading the injury list, one has to think could have been much worse (but we can say that about any crash). Heal up well Mike!

On a semi-related note, I am still recovering from hitting an off-leash dog (in a park that is leash on only) that jumped out in front of me when I was riding on a gravel trail in May. Was doing 30 km/h (18 mph) and took a heavy concussion from a dirt nap, scapula fractures, rib fractures and a lot of soft-tissue damage to my left shoulder. Still can't work out how I ended up so badly injured from this one.

Ride on the road right next to the trail. Never understood that.

I think some of the road bikers have the same intelligence level as the idiot that hit Mike. I don't understand the lack of caution some road cyclist have, especially while in groups. I've had groups blow stop signs forcing me to stop twice in my car while I had the right of way. I don't get it.

Speedy recovery Mike. Rear facing camera under the seat maybe would be invaluable in these situations.

Bikes should stay off the friggin roads that have posted speeds over 25mph. First of all they pay zero road tax so they have no business even being on the road. They carry zero insurance. They can't come even close to doing the speed limit therefore they are a danger to all involved. Plus, with all the people on the phones these days, you'd have to be on a fucking suicide mission to ride the same roads as cars without a designated bike lane. You want to ride on the road with a bike...you should have to pay road tax, have a license plate or sticker, actually obey stop signs, lights and other rules of the road and carry liability insurance...just like a car.
