Well - the cyclist learned their lesson - and paid with their life. Maybe if the driver could see the bicyclist at night, this may have been avoided. I have read of ambulances and police cars hitting bicyclists because the dumb ass bicyclist failed to yield to emergency lights, had no lights or reflectors at night. In the two instances I read, the emergency vehicle driver never saw the bike at night until it was too late. I am a long distance cyclist, and so is my brother - who is a Minneapolis city cop. He stops, tags and confiscates - if necessary bicyclists who blow stop signs... cut in and out of traffic.. blow crosswalks while little people are in them... etc. I say bravo. If we can't obey the laws how can we expect auto drivers to yield to a bicyclist...... Be an example to kids on how bicyclists behave on the road. Maybe you might save one of those kiddies someday by teaching them how to properly ride a bicycle or another bicyclist when those kids start driving motorcars, instead on those kids thinking bicyclists on fancy road bikes are assholes. If you are stupid enough to ride around at night without reflectors and/or lights on, you ride at your own peril. Nature has it's way of eliminating idiots. And who says people who have heart attacks are all "fat fucks"?
