I don’t know who this guy was but getting splattered by two vehicles on the highway does not sound like a very pretty way to die.

81 riding a bike. Good for him. He kept his health till the end.

Bicycles and cars are never a good mix.

" . . . when he failed to brake at a stop sign."

Very common among cyclists, who seem to think the rules of the road don't apply to them.

No great loss. Ugly modern architecture (an oxymoron). The Germans can sure turn out ugly buildings. For some reason they all look like concrete gas chambers.

[Bigg Red]

What did he have on the Clintons?

Jahn’s impact can be seen across the world in designs ranging from the Sony Center in Berlin, Germany, to the Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, Thailand.

Phrasing

When I was younger used to ride my bicycles all over the place. Your sense of balance is so much better when younger. Now at 64 not so much plus riding the streets with cars around not so keen for seniors. Better to ride along park trails away from vehicle traffic dangers.

I wonder if Helmut was wearing a helmut.

I believe he designed Liberty Place in Philly back in the 1980s. I rode the train to work in the city back then with a lot of the ironworkers working that project. Those were good times back then..Reagan in office, the city was doing well..and I had a job I loved (in Defense)

As an 80 year old daily bike rider, I find comments trying to be funny are anything but.

[Deplorable American1776]

Failure to stop at a stop sign meant that your bike failed. Not sure what he had for brakes, but brakes should be checked every two weeks.

Prayers to his family...

It’s Chicago. Was he wearing a mask?

[KarlInOhio]

when he failed to brake at a stop sign

Far too many bicyclists think traffic laws don't apply to them and blow through stop signs. If he had an equipment failure or a moment of inattention, then I pity him. On the other hand if he is one of the bicyclists who regularly ignore stop signs and pedestrian right-of-way then my pity goes way down.

You can ignore traffic laws a hundred times, but then the laws of physics catch up with you - and physics' penalties are a lot greater than a $50 fine.

Sad - but the alternative is even more dangerous.

Bike riders, and specifically young bike riders, should not be allowed on public sidewalks.

I have two or three potentially fatal encounters with sidewalk bike riders EVERY year.

Recently, new, massive, completely silent, black, motorized bikes have appeared on the sidewalks around Seattle. These things go like 25 mph ON the sidewalks.

Who legalizes stuff like this?

Bike lanes are just as dangerous. Two or three times a year I almost get hit by kids who are running red lights while I am in the cross walk on the street.

The data is overwhelmingly on the side of pedestrians.

In New York state, almost one person each day is treated in an ER after being struck by a bike.

Incredibly, New York City has a LOWER rate of bike-pedestrian injuries than the rest of the state, so this public health issue is EVERYWHERE.
