May explain the traffic news i heard on the radio coming home about that time. Northbound TJ bridge traffic slow though no accidents on either side.
Definite idiot if it was a bicycle rider for sure.

The bridge was already slow. The sign advises against bikes. That is stupid. You want to risk your life to save a couple of bucks?

Bridge made me nervous the first couple times over on the V-strom, but after adding a fork brace and an adjustable bracket for my windshield, it's steady as a rock over the bridge. Set the windshield for max low, and no wind issues, the front end wobble went away due to the fork brace.

Are we talking about the Thomas Johnson Bridge? As far as I know, cyclists are allowed on that bridge. I've taken a look on Google maps and it looks perfectly safe to me as long as the cyclist takes the full lane and doesn't ride in the gutter. Yeah, he's going to slow traffic down to 10mph, but it's not like there's any other option there - the next bridge over that body of water is nearly 35 miles away. If I had to go over there, I wouldn't think twice about it.

It's not as if he's taking the William Preston Lane, Jr. Memorial Bridge - US 50/301 over Chesapeake Bay.

I hope you're not advocating vehicular homicide, just because they have the temerity to use a bridge and wear a colorful shirt.
