Bicyclist Killed In Traffic This Morning

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.
