Dallas police: 45-year-old man on a bicycle was killed in Sunday evening hit-and-run along Scyene Road

By Robert Wilonsky        crimeblog.dallasnews.com

Dallas police are investigating a fatal hit-and-run that claimed the life of a man on a bicycle Sunday evening.
According to a police report, a 45-year-old man was riding his bike in the right-hand lane of eastbound Scyene Road, near C.A. Tatum Jr. Elementary School, when he was struck from behind by a vehicle. The report says the impact threw the cyclist “up into the air” near the N. St. Augustine Road intersection. He landed — “partially” — on the sidewalk and the grassy median.
The report says the driver drove off, “without stopping to render aid.”
The cyclist, a 45-year-old man about eight miles from his East Dallas home, was transported to…

By ANDREW SCOGGIN        www.dallasnews.com


David and Karen Shuford had to work together to bike to Uptown on Monday.
The Arlington couple pedaled their way from Forest Lane and North Central Expressway on their deep-red tandem bicycle to reach Uptown Ciclovía, a one-day event that closed parts of Cedar Springs Road and Harwood Street to motorized traffic to promote biking, walking and other car-free activities.
The Shufords began biking for health a few years ago. When on their own bicycles, Karen, 57, averages about 25 miles on a ride; David, 58, can do 50 miles no sweat.
“This is just a casual ride today,” David Shuford said.
Ciclovías, sometimes called “open streets,” started in Colombia, and in recent years the concept has taken…
