it's more about the deadly practice some cyclists have about silently passing others, it seems

Sharing this, as I saw it this morning and it's reverberating with me - as I just rode on the same trail earlier in the day.
I may be wrong but, based on the information here, as well as my own experience with riders who never call out before or when they are passing, I am assuming that the elderly woman had no idea that she should look around or not move across the trail.

"...The woman was walking east on the trail and two cyclists, also eastbound, came up behind her and off to her left side, Cline said in a news release. As the cyclists began to pass the woman, she stepped in front of them and was struck, Cline said..."

I had several single riders, as well as pairs silently pass me numerous times and I was out there for less than 1.5 hours! Twice, while I was at an intersection waiting for the light to change, riders silently passed close by me, just to move past those of us already lined up and waiting, to get in front...(wtf??), then took forever to clip in going across, so that those of us behind her had to soft pedal and wait...to me that's not only dangerous but dam* rude!
I feel so badly for the family of the woman who was killed, while out walking on a lovely, spring day - senseless and so sad!
