This comment was rich:
I don't know the specifics of this accident but I had to break suddenly from hitting a bicyclist due to the sun in my eyes. I was traveling west into the setting sun and was making a left turn crossing oncoming traffic. I stopped due to a car coming and once the car passed I went on. Suddenly I caught sight of a bicyclist as he was coming out of the shadow of a tree. He was wearing a dark blue top, black pants, dark red helment, riding a dark colored bike. He completely blended into the shawow a tree was casting on the road. If it had been a car I think I would have seen it due to its size but the small size of bicyclist wearing dark colors was hard to see. I wish people who road bikes would always wear some type of reflective vest to enhance their visibility to the people driving cars.
yeah, the cyclist was so well blended in and hard to see that this person could pick out and remember the color of his jersey and helmet.
