Re: [LincolnTalk] To the cyclist who was almost hit on Lincoln Road by a School Van

In order to be killed, the automobile must be in speed to cause the impact. i was once hit by a garbage truck in Cambridge a long time ago. It was due to the speed delay between bike and truck when the traffic light went green. There was no bike path those days. On Thu, Aug 31, 2023 at 6:51 PM

It was a tufts medical professor who died in Newton. My friend saw the accident. A UPS truck hit him. It’s awful, and no one feels okay about it. I don’t think the drivers are horrible drivers; it’s just very hard to manage narrow roads with no shoulder and severe curves, with cyclists. No one

I’m also a long time road cyclist, and I feel much more visible since I’ve added front (white) and rear (red) blinkers to my bike. Passing cars seem to give me much wider berth. It’s an extra step but seems very worthwhile. I also wear a day-glo green helmet. Visibility really does make a

Glad you are OK. Something similar happened to me and a friend jogging across a crosswalk to a driveway into Donelan’s. I don’t know what happened in your situation, but I think sometimes people are not fully paying attention or just make mistakes. It is an important reminder to all of us to stay
