Actually he wasn’t even on a bicycle. He just got killed for crossing the street.

Yeah, that’s what the guy I creamed was doing. Crossing the street. Running. Without looking. BAM!

Go to youtube and search pedestrian crash. Lot of really morbid stuff there. About half are the drivers’ fault, and about half are the pedestrians’ fault. It’s sad to see a woman pull away as a car speeds past her, taking out her baby carriage and the baby flies hundreds of feet.

Those videos have taught me to look both ways, even in a cross walk.

...

I notice the article says he was hit near an intersection, not in an intersection. Was he using a crosswalk?

I remind EVERYONE to trust NO ONE when on the road. Whether you are driving, biking, or walking, always anticipate the driver you are looking at is distracted or isn’t seeing you.

People are blowing Stop signs and Red lights in an increasing and alarming way.
