dennisw: “Cyclist Jason Marshall, 31, stayed on the scene after crashing into Tarlov and has not been charged. Police say Marshall, a saxophonist from East Harlem, was riding in a bike lane when he swerved to avoid colliding with a group of pedestrians and hit Tarlov.”

The statement needs to be ammended to " Egomaniac high-Speed Cyclist Jason Marshall.. "
And should include the fact that his bike has " no freaking brakes , a common safety feature ".
Marshall should be charged with vehicular involuntary homicide (true and accurate ).
Brakes are a safety feature for a reason .

“No freaking brakes” - umm, where did it say that he was riding a fixed speed bike? I looked up the bike and it appears to have gears and brakes (as opposed to a “fixie” where you use your legs to slow down and stop). Just wondering.
