Storm clouds seem to dog us on this trip, we left over 11″ of rain behind in NY when we left, and it rained last night and this morning here in TN. The plan is sometime today or tomorrow we are supposed to make a return trip to the Lane Museum to look at more old cars and also make a trip to one of the largest used book stores in the US.
Up first a TX cyclist demonstrates why you need two cameras when you ride a bike on a highway. Clipped Short Version and Bicyclist recovering from injuries suffered in Monday morning Bullard accident This is a major case of getting Ricked (as in Perry, the other governor that vetoed a safe passing law). Looking at the video the cyclist had less than a second from the pickup truck moving to the right to getting hit. No time to employ the protocols, leaving only improved infrastructure as the only way to prevent a wreck like this. American style infrastructure with the debris-strewn bike lanes next to high-speed traffic is proven not to be effective.
More on that NOLA right hook with diagrams showing the lane position of the weapon vehicle and victim. Cyclist run over, killed by large truck in Marigny I already covered this wreck yesterday, today’s link merely backs up what I said then. More NOPD: Cyclist killed by 18-wheeler near Marigny Also Marigny intersection where cyclist was killed was the scene of a nearly identical wreck in 2005
Update on a SD wreck concentrates mostly on the infrastructure. Sioux Falls cyclist advises using bike trails for bike safety
A wreck with unstated mode of transport for the victims in NYC. Tourist Struck By Tour Bus In Midtown: We Had The Right Of Way I know the mode, the victims were left crossed. but I can’t find if they were on foot or riding bikes.
Ted covers a wreck in CA. Bike rider killed in Canoga Park, apparently the innocent victim of a two-car collision This was a pinball wreck, nothing that a cyclist could do to avoid it, and precious little that even “up to Dutch” infrastructure could do to prevent another one. More Bicyclist Killed, 2 Injured In 2-Vehicle Crash In West Hills
I’m not sure what happened, but I think it was hit-from-behind. Bike rider seriously injured in Wentworthville The weapon vehicle went through the cyclist off the road and into a pole beside the road. This moots the protocols for avoiding this wreck, leaving only building infrastructure that is “up to Dutch” to prevent another wreck like it.
A hit-from-behind wreck caught on dashcam from a following vehicle in Russia. Video: Russian cyclist walks away after being run over by skip lorry The cyclist was hit in the left 1/3 of the lane with a large curb and pedestrian fence cutting off any chance of having an escape route to the right. It would be nice if there had been some infrastructure to use instead of sharing the roads with garbage trucks.

Infrastructure! news from far West Canuckistan. No safety changes on Stanley Park causeway more than a year after cyclist killed (with video) This was the wreck where the cyclist got pushed or fell from a narrow shared use path directly in front of a bus.
Infrastructure news from Belgium. Steep rise in cyclists hurt on our roads The article does a nice bit of victim-blaming instead of pointing the finger at bad driving and infrastructure.
