jporter12 Posted October 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Eyewitness reports say the guy was going way over 35. I'm watching for updates. At any rate, it can't be said enough, even if the rider is at fault, RIP rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jporter12 Posted October 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 It has been confirmed that the rider had been rinding at a high rate of speed, the driver likely had no way of seeing him coming so fast, was on a learner's permit, no helmet, riding at night, not to mention that's a VERY busy road...So sad that a lapse of judgement on his part ended his life. Please, as a reminder, get your head right before hitting that starter button, and don't ride beyond your abilities, and the surrounding conditions.

V4junkie Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Sheesh, I live right off 21st st and I am constantly hearing bikes screaming through there. Don't get me wrong, it's music to my ears, but 21st has a place for someone to pull out about every 10ft. Rip squid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jporter12 Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 very sad, my condolences, always wear your crash helmet.Ya know, I never used to like the idea of a helmet being called a CRASH helmet, but that IS the reason we wear them! We gear up for the crash that may happen, not for the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
