LETTER: Cyclist killed

themonitor.com

A heartfelt expression of sorrow for the last, previous and future bicyclists killed or injured on our roadways. Circumstances as reported of the April 10 accident are especially onerous due to the absolute lack of humanity by the accused. However, there are a few questions which were not answered, such as: Did the bicycle have all appropriate safety equipment and lighting as required by law? Was the rider “as near as practicable to the right curb or edge of the roadway?” Was he applying all the other rights and duties of all other vehicle operators? How was the street lighted and traffic? I’m not saying that any answers to these questions should in…

Undercover Houston Bike Cops Bust Dangerous Drivers

by Brad        urbanvelo.org

Houston has a thriving bicycle culture, but ranks among one of the least safe places to ride in the country according to the Alliance for Biking and Walking. Fast Company is reporting on a new program to catch dangerous drivers in the act, and bring cycling fatalities in the city to “Goal Zero.”
“We asked them to put police officers in plain clothes on bicycles with support in the area, so if someone did pass them too closely, they could call on their support to pull over that driver and issue a citation,” explains…

Cyclist uses long pole, video camera to remind Houston drivers to stay away

By Craig Hlavaty        www,chron.com


A Houston bicyclist is making a statement about safety by filming the often angry drivers who hit a pole he has sticking out three feet from the side of his bike.
While riding in the designated bike lanes of the Memorial area, Dan Morgan sought a way to prove that some motorists aren’t following a law stating that cars should not come within three feet of a cyclist.
“The whole purpose of the flag was to demonstrate that we exist on the roads,” Morgan said. “That flag could…

Late beloved cyclist’s friends, family pay tribute with morning ride

By DAN SANTELLA The Monitor

EDINBURG — Police escorts and flashing vests lit up a cavalry of purpose-ful cyclists who rode be-fore sunrise Thursday in a tribute to their comrade, Eddie Arguelles, who was killed one week earlier.
Arguelles’ widow, Mon-ette, addressed the gath-ered cyclists before they departed for their 16-mile memorial ride for Eddie Arguelles.
“It’s been a tough week,” she said, her voice break-ing. “But … I’m not going to let this stop me from riding my bike.”
She handed the mega-phone to Mike Padgett of McAllen, who read for the crowd a commentary on…
