Police say both the bicyclist and the truck were eastbound on 23rd Street when the truck turned southbound onto Southwest Boulevard. Police say it appears the bicyclist was either grabbing onto the truck's trailer for a tow or reached up to fend it off and lost his balance, falling beneath the wheels of the truck.
We cyclists all know we are faster on the turns that any vehicle, especially a truck. Why the hell would we do something so stupid as to grab onto a truck that's making a turn?
