Re: [bikingroseville] Citrus Heights Cyclist Killed

Very sad.
 
"Witnesses say the cyclist was crossing the on-ramp from Riverside Boulevard to Westbound I-80 at an angle and outside the marked crosswalk"
 
If he was on a bicycle, then he shouldn't have been in the marked crosswalk.  That seems like an odd observation.
 
"The use of a helmet, reflective clothing and proper lighting equipment could have possibly helped to prevent a collision such as this."
 
Although I'm firmly on the pro-helmet side of the debate, I'm not sure what a helmet could have done to prevent this, or any, collision.
 
"This situation is an unfortunate but clear example of the benefit of using safety equipment while riding a bicycle"
 
Since there's no comment on the driver's actions, I assume he was traveling at or below the speed limit.
