“The woman on the bike — Anne Sobol, a member of the safety team for #BikePGH, which organizes #OpenStreetsPGH — suffered bruises on her legs but said she wasn't in pain. No major injuries were reported at the scene.
“Someone tried to open the barricade at the end to let her off the course, but instead she turned around and accelerated back towards everybody again," Sobol told WESA. "So I got in front of the car and she hit me, and I’m going to be pressing charges."

Today was the first #OpenStreetsPGH organized by #BikePGH. Usually the last Sundays summer months, this event is a fantastic way to experience a stretch of streets car-free. Showing us a world where walkers, strollers, wheelchairs, skaters, and bicyclists can travel safely.

Unfortunately, a seemingly road raged driver accelerated past barricades and hit a member of the safety team who was able to successfully stop the driver from causing more harm. #BikeTooter #bike
