Another cyclist was killed by a running truck, this time on W 50th Street. This sight is so profoundly upsetting. Whether it is a cyclist, a pedestrians or a driver, it is first and foremost a neighbor and we offer condolences to his family.
It does not have to be that way: with more protected bike lanes and protected turn signals the DOT can reduce the number of tragedies on our streets. Chekpeds is doing everything it can but the challenges remain daunting.
As we write , we do not have the details or contact for this person.
