Here again, we only get part of the story from the pro-Critical Mass crowd. Here is the rest of story they didn't report. I'm sorry to see a cyclist die but please read what probably lead up to it.

A bike messenger was killed yesterday morning when he fell headfirst from his bike in midtown after a deliveryman opened a truck door and knocked him down, police said.
But officials from the truck company blamed the accident on a police van they say hit the cyclist and threw him into the truck.
At 10:45 a.m., the messenger, Dell Covington, 42, of Woodhaven, was riding north on Eighth Avenue near 49th Street. <b>He tried to negotiate a narrow space between a double-parked delivery truck and a police prisoner transport van while holding a cup of tea in one hand and a large muffin in the other, police sources said. </b>
