A cyclist was struck and killed by a car right near my house last night. Same road I ride almost every trip. A guy my age, too. This was early evening, but still not too dark. He had no lights and dark clothing and was crossing a divided 55MPH highway and apparently didn't see the oncoming traffic and rode right in front of a car. The guy driving the car was also my age and said he didn't see the biker until it was too late to stop. I heard the life-flight chopper and sirens right before we went out for our walk and I was thinking that someone is having a bad day. Now I'm wondering if I know the rider. No names released yet.
Serious bummer. Be safe out there, folks. Lights don't weigh that much.
