Does it make me a redneck because I don't understand them and hate them? Seriously, I really do. They are the worst type of people in the world.[/
Anytime someone wants to know why Louisiana doesn't have any places like Austin, or Seattle, there is your answer!

narrow, winding road with some hills
It's not a good bike route.
There's space for a bike lane there, but like everything else in Louisiana....there just isn't the infrastructure for it. It's a narrow, winding, and hilly road in a very rural area.

Buddy Amoroso Dead
ST. FRANCISVILLE - East Baton Rouge Parish Councilman Buddy Amoroso was struck and killed by a vehicle Saturday morning while riding his bicycle.
According to Louisiana State Police, Metro Councilman Amoroso was struck on LA Highway 66 near LA 61 around 11 a.m. Saturday. He sustained fatal injuries.
Sources say another bicyclist was also struck, and transported with serious injuries to a hospital in Baton Rouge via AirMed.
Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome released the following statement Saturday afternoon:
It is with deep sadness that I inform our parish of the tragic death of Councilman Buddy Amoroso. Buddy was a colleague and a friend, and a true example of a dedicated public servant.
This tragic loss will be felt throughout the parish, from the constituents he served in District 8, to his faith community and the many organizations he served.
Please join me in keeping Councilman Amoroso's family, especially his wife Denise, his children Elaine, Michal Ann, and Joey, and his many friends lifted in prayer. We should all reflect on Councilman Amoroso’s commitment to community and kindness during this extremely difficult time.
In honor of Councilman Amoroso, I have ordered flags at all public buildings throughout the parish to be flown at half staff for the coming week.
The crash remains under investigation.

Hopefully the driver is charged to the fullest extent.

Before people voice well deserved criticism of the cycling community as a whole, it's best to remember that we don't know the circumstances of this particular accident and that the victim's family, friends, and colleagues probably post on Tigerdroppings.

Buddy was a good dude.
He was our councilman. He's on Nextdoor a lot and was always willing to try to help people out. Seemed like a good guy
