The owner of Runtex, an Austin business, is displaying a large banner to raise the public’s awareness of bicyclists.  The banner is partly in remembrance of Gay Simmons Posey, an Austin woman who was killed on Loop 360 while riding ber bicycle in triathlon training.  A car ran over Posey and killed her, and the car never stopped.

According to the Texas Bicycle Coalition, an average of 50 bicyclists are killed while riding in Texas each year.  Here is a link to the article about the banner -
