Ken Kifer was killed by a drunk coming from the opposite direction, on the opposite side of the road, when the driver swerved completely across the road to hit Ken. There was no bike lane, just a drunk driver who lost control of his vehicle.
If we mistakenly attribute this, or any other, alcohol-related cycling death to a bike lane or some other unrelated reason, we will miss the point of cracking down on driving under the influence of drugs/alcohol, and others will pay the price.
