Pedestrian killed by cyclist

my rant

Aero bars should be used for RACING ONLY! Personally i think they should be banned for non race use. People get pretty complacent when they are in the aero position and they can't quickly manoeuver if someone is in front of them.

I'd like to know more details. Last week I was told about someone using aero bars who lacerated a "little old lady's" liver when she trotted out into the street to jaywalk. The cyclist was not held at fault but he sure felt horrible.

The "ran through a stop sign" sure sounds like damning evidence in this case, but what is an "unmarked crosswalk?" A 71-yr old can be pretty spry so I don't think we can assume the woman was shuffling long.
