More updates

Another Feed came in and it was loaded with updates and additional reports. You guys are lucky I checked my e-mail late.

First up from SoCal is an update on the Navy man that was hit from behind in the bike lane by a driver who wasn’t up to his “Ultimate driving machine”. RANCHO BERNARDO: Cyclist hit by car was retired Navy captain, avid athlete I agree with one of the comments from the comments section, why isn’t the perp in jail? If you had killed a cop on the side of the road you might have lived to make it to jail, why when a cyclist gets killed the killer doesn’t even get a perp walk or a night in jail? TANJ!

Another report on the memorial ride/walk in NYC. Cyclists read roll of fallen on a rolling memorial As I posted last time on this story pedestrians and cyclists are natural allies, don’t hit them, and if you do hit one please hang around long enough to see if they need medical assistance. Remember to watch extra carefully in crosswalks, too.

We had another Bob Mionske article come through the Feed, as well as a link so that I can send you there every week he posts a new article. This one is about right cross wrecks. Legally Speaking with Bob Mionske – Turning with a blind eye Right cross wrecks can be avoided by watching turn signals, but if the car or truck pulls up from behind or fails to signal before turning then the only thing you can do is be ready to bail.

And from Jolly Olde is an update on that wreck in Bristol. It turns out the victim wasn’t 17, but rather the 29 YO son of the former Lord Mayor of Bristol. Cyclist killed on Portway son of former Bristol Lord Mayor Yes, it was a bad wreck. And the deceased was well-liked. No different than any of a thousand wrecks in the UK every year. This one was just a bit more famous then usual.

And that’s all for tonight, I’m not going back to look for another Feed. Anything else can wait until morning.
