This is my hometown. We have a very active cycling community that has been hit very hard by this news. The following is from the news article:

'Menard had her own philosophy about protecting cyclists; start young. Menard spent hours at this year's Fall for Greenville fitting children with free helmets from the Greenville Spinners. She was an active part of the Greenville Spinners Safety Foundation, and friends said she could always be counted on to volunteer for educational workshops.

"It was her transportation by choice and her preferred method of getting around," Edwards said of Menard.'

What a terrible, needless loss. This is not someone who did not know how to ride safely. Other reports say that the sun obscured the driver's vision. Of course, if you cannot see, you should not be making a turn. We as cyclists must do everything we can to ride as safely as possible, but we also need to encourage more education for motorists, at least in SC.
