That is one of the biggest bike car accidents. When a cyclist wants to continue through an intersection and a vehicle wants to turn right. That is why I am sooooooooo cautious when biking through an intersection. I normally will get just behind a vehicle and continue straight then once through pull over again to the right. I also look back at any car behind me and try . . . I say try to make eye contact and pedal through. I try to make my intentions as obvious as I can.
How sad. So young. I thank God every time I finish a ride safe, for me, Joe, and my daughter.
Oh and watch out for people text messaging while driving. Scary!!!!! I read a story where a young man hit a 63 year old bicyclist while he was texting a friend. The driver was only 17 and had his license for only 4 months! Sad! He swerved right while texting and hit the bicyclist at 60 mph!
