Yes a verry sad day .That is the 2nd cyclist in the last year to be killed by being run down in this small town.
I ride just about every day and I just don't understand why people are so careless with our lives the way thay drive

Are they being run down? That implies, in my head at least, a malicious attitude, as opposed to just criminal negligence.

Maybe the guy had a seizure or heart attack? Odd they would have transported him to the hospital for hitting a cyclist though I suppose he could have crashed more after hitting.

Maybe run down was a bad choice of words. I just get so upset when I get buzzed by someone or thay are on there Cel phone or passin a car and get over in the sholder. It just seames like thay just are so much in a hurry that thay lose all regard for a life. I am sorry for the rant but I am verry upset and I did not know the cyclest who was killed

Criminal negligence is worse that actually knowingly committing the crime. I can see hating someone to the point where you decide to end them, but to do it out of some self important need to stay constantly connected, because you are the center of your universe, seems to be the greatest crime ever committed by man. Well right after genocide. It's Genocide, then self important negligent murder. I fear for a culture that ends not through destruction, but through distraction.

Wild,
I understand your rant and I also rant at times.
It's a shame the way some people drive.
Venting at the time is always best.
