I am sorry to read this-
the worst accident we saw happen in Wallingford was also here –
10 years ago maybe, walking with my young child down the south side of 45th navigating the driveways aka sidewalks of Dicks –
grid lock for eastbound traffic –
an eastbound car allows a gap for a wetbound vehicle in the middle turning lane
they dart into Dicks –
a cyclist happily flying down 45th passing the the stalled traffic and hits the car entering the parking lot…
Fixies = Death Machines
sorry to hear it. No brakes? Riding a bike without brakes in the city makes no sense to me. Better suited for the velodrome at Marymoor Park.
I just moved out here from Capitol Hill and use a bike to get around everywhere. I have to say though that drivers out here are not nearly as aware of bikers as they could be. Even on bicycles with brakes they are not nearly as quick stopping as car brakes, it is all just hand power after all. I just want to remind people to use their blinkers. If I know where you are going then I can be sure not to be there.
