For second time this month, a bicyclist in Cambridge killed by a truck driver making a right turn

Unacceptable and shameful.

Hey, we've got a great idea! Let's delay the implementation of the Cycling Safety Ordinance, because some people (including some of us!) who really love their cars don't ever want to be inconvenienced, not even for a second!

Now that Boston has largely solved the rampant murder problem, how about Boston/Cambridge take serious steps to solve the cyclists killed by car problem?

I read people here asking how on earth they're supposed to know there's a bicycle on their right. Do they think that, if they pass a bicycle on their right side, by the time they reach the intersection, since they can no longer personally see the bicycle, the bicycle has dematerialized? Most people acquire object permanence well before they're a year old.

From places far less urban, densely populated and with heavy traffic. Example: By far, most students come from small suburban town sprawl, even rural areas. Very few raised in places very urban and densely populated. Even most major American cities have much lower population density than Boston/Cambridge/Somerville. I can attest, being raised in such an environment, you take some chances, and figure out all the shortcuts to get from A to B. But, you also are generally aware of surroundings, and potential dangers. And you don't trust the other person will do the right thing. I grew up riding a bike all over Boston, and even NYC, specifically midtown and downtown Manhattan. Don't expect the world to be a perfect place. Expect the unexpected.

As for truck drivers: Most around here are familiar with driving in a place like Boston/Cambridge. But working long hours, starting work very early in the morning (like construction workers) no doubt at some point they're going be tired and prone to making a mistake.

Has anyone had eyes on an actual police report of the facts or an accident investigation report?
