I agree, what was the bicyclist doing riding in the elementary school parking lot in the first place! Bicyclists should be banned from riding on public roads, there are plenty of biking trails they can use so they don't foul up traffic. One more thing to all bicyclists, stay off the "flippin" streets during rush hours.
