Posted by teeheehee on September 14th, 2009
Little information is available at this time. My condolences to the victims. Hopefully the driver turns themself in. Some comments from the news threads:
I was talking to a friend of mine on Wednesday afternoon about the lack of space for bikers. This is the third death that I know of on that stretch of Montague Road since 1988.
[...] 15 years ago I felt safe, but now that every one is going 50 in 35 while texting and sipping their coffee, its no longer a good place for bikes, no matter how much the laws say bike have just as much right to be on the roads along side of cars and trucks. [...]
