He was killed outright. Drivers ought to take better care when there's a cyclist in the road. The car or truck has a tremendous advantage over the human body.

Sorry to hear that krashkart. I've been on both side of the fence. When I'm on a bike, I treat all drivers as morons and it's kept me safe so far.
Although these types of bikers deserve to get hit (not killed, but we'll let Darwin decide that)

While it is a spoof on Portland life, it is a very accurate portrayal of militant portland bikers. One of them was hit recently, turns out he was running stop signs and weaving in and out of traffic.
These dudes are dangerous. |
