The Universal Hub site reports that a cyclist was killed by a semi this morning. From the few times I’ve had cyclists bang on my trolley in anger because I accidentally cut them off – or because they are extremely proactive about their safety – I have personally become more vigilant in watching for them. Especially coming into Boston on the Longfellow. I find that we have little choice but to cut into the bike lane. But experience has taught me that when I do occupy the bike lane I should look very carefully first to make sure I’m not cutting off a cyclist.

For those interested in following Boston cycling culture and safety, another great site:

…and an article from Boston Magazine from earlier this year:
How Many Dead Cyclists is Enough?
