This is tragic, but bikers need to follow the rules of the road.I was almost mowed down by one today while crossing at the light. I SELDOM see them obey traffic laws
The one on Fulton street was horrible. I work at the high school right outside of the train station. Many of my students saw a bloody sheet with an arm sticking out from under it. They also said it took quite a while for anyone to come to his aid. Last Friday, a teacher was crossing the street near the same intersection and was hit by a taxi driver turning right (and apparently not looking for people crossing the street).
Nope, I will not be sucked into that….
I hope you advocates of biking in NYC are happy now that two more bicyclists are dead. Good job! Let’s see how many more you can kill before the year is out.
