    Cyclist Shot

    Sad article, the cyclist behaved poorly from the sounds of it and disobeyed laws, however that is not something to lose your life over. Road rage to the nth degree and now a rider is dead. This took place in Taylor Michigan about 50 miles to the southeast of my community.

    This one happened only a mile from where we live. I cross that intersection by bike frequently and I certainly do not ignore the traffic/pedesrtrian signals. Scary how people 'solve' disputes these days.

    Be careful out there,

    The incident is sickening and even more so, the comments.
