I live in Oklahoma City.
Two deaths in two days. It's incomprehensible. The families want to be involved in a memorial ride that we're putting together later this week for the two men (ages 56 and 75).
The media did a great job last night of informing the public of our rights as cyclists (and our responsibilities). I applaud them for that. We have a fairly big cycling community here, although most non-riders don't understand/don't want us on the roads. I've had two friends hit by cars in the last couple years by purposely aggressive drivers.

Charges haven't been filed against the driver from yesterday. The police said it appears to be an accident, with the sun possibly playing a role. To me- it doesn't matter. Charges SHOULD be filed (maybe not for manslaughter, but for not being in control of your vehicle or *something*). IMO To not file any charges at all sends a message that it's OK to kill someone if the sun is in your eyes, or you temporarily don't have control of your vehicle.
Plus- the other guy isn't here to tell whether it was an accident or not...
