And Amelie Le Moullac, killed a block away at Folsom and 6th in 2013, by a truck turning across the bike lane.https://sf.streetsblog.org/2013/08/15/folsom-truck-victim-identified-as-24-year-old-amelie-le-moullac/ …
That was the day I permanently gave up biking in SF.
Dreadfully sorry for the lady & her family, of course. But just based on that pic, bike lane is easily wider than a car door. Why swerve into traffic to avoid the door? Unless she was riding fast, better to hit the door than swerve. As a cyclist, I try hard to ride defensively.
This is amazing. Because she was hit by a truck there isn’t the usual “uh, it’s called a ‘driver’ who killed the person not a car” opprobrium. And again of course speed isn’t listed. Bike lanes. The conversation is bike lanes and not speed. Why the f would it ever be about speed?
