So very sad. I do hope they can get to the bottom of what happened and prevent it from happening in the future. We've had a few high profile folks taken from us in bicycle-fatalities. Some were (truly) the cyclist's fault and some weren't. Either way, they hurt and they always make me thing twice when I get on my bike and ride. Sad, but true.

I don't usually think much of WTOP's reporting despite the fact that they're quick to get news out there, but this is a very nice, positive response to the recent accident: On the road, who rules? Cyclist or driver?, instructive videos included.
Though it could have been better if they'd emphasized the idea of "sharing" the road rather than "ruling" it."How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
