    Clarkston Cyclist Mourned

    Decatur Metro | October 17, 2008

    The AJC reports on the death of avid Clarkston cyclist Richard C. Baker (nickname “Chris”), who was killed on Othello Ave outside of Clarkston this week.   DeKalb County says that Baker ran a stop sign, but friends find that hard to believe.

    This is very close to where we used to live before moving closer intown a few years back.  From my recollection, Othello is a residential road.  So how fast was the car going?  Apparently fast enough to kill someone.  Yet no mention of that in the article.

    Perhaps this is a good time to mention the Confident City Cycling Class being held at the Rec Center tomorrow.  231 Sycamore has all the details.  UPDATE: KC says that the class has been cancelled due to lack of interest.
