I didn't see in the article if the victim was riding straight down the road or crossing the road.
As a dad, I would have instructed my middle school children to take their bikes on that wide sidewalk and stay off the road. I don't believe vehicular cycling should apply to children in all circumstances. But that's just me.
The article states that they were both moving along Diffey Road.
Very tragic indeed.
I do wonder when motorists will be held accountable for hitting a bicyclist from behind as motorists are held accountable for hitting another vehicle from behind.
Condolences to all affected by this.
Cheers
