I support bikers and try to be very careful around them. However, a week ago, I saw a biker on Falls of Neuse going south during the morning rush hour--that is just plain not a good idea--even cars are in danger because it's so congested. We need to use common sense...SP2G

I've left a comment asking him to take an alternate route since he's worried about my safety.
Same old story - irresponsible person murders a cyclist with their car and all the cyclist haters come out of the woodwork.
"accident, bad decision, mistake, bad judgment"............ murder

That's sad, for both victim and driver, the kid made a very stupid mistake which will haunt him (and the victims family) for the rest of his life.

WTF... the crash happened before 11am????
I can't believe the comments in that article blaming cyclist. All the classic arguments:
1) I'll give cyclists more rights when they pay taxes!
2) Cyclists shouldn't be on busy roads, cars have to make dangerous maneuvers to pass them!
3) I see cyclists make illegal maneuvers like not stopping at stop signs ALL THE TIME OMG CYCLIST ANARCHY KILL THEM ALL!!!!!
This poor woman was killed by a drunk driver... drunk at 11 in the morning in the middle of the week. Maybe it was incidental that she was on a bike. These comments towards cyclists wouldn't exist if the victim were in a car or walking. I wish people would have better perspective. /sad
