First & foremost, this falls on the motorist. Not much more I could add to what the police are going to do to the guy. What can we as cyclists take forward as lessons learned. Well for starters, riding a bike somewhere between 5:15-5:45 AM anywhere is going to be dangerous, it's well over an hour before the 7:00 AM sunrise. Ride planning has to account for poorer night visibility. Ride planning has got to factor in when the drunk drivers or habitual offenders are on the road atypically. I was contacted to ride the memorial ride earlier today. I chose not to ride, the mass ride is only going to polarize the situation with unnecessary traffic. Hope nothing escalated and got nasty with those who did ride it.
