What a tragedy.
No one should ride through that section of Von Karmen, to many cars trying to get into those lots.

I know when I got hit last August the ONE thing I recall vividly was my helmet snapping into the curb and pretty high speed. I know this because I actually laughed to my self right when it happened that my helmet really worked. I hate to think what would have happened if that was my head that thumped the curb.
We don't know though. I do know that stretch is a 35/40 zone and the road is barely wide enough for the traffic lanes. I used to drive to work that way, but stopped because of the added stress from the red light runners, tailgaters and generally cramped environment.

My wife doesn't unless me or the kids make her.
