I just found out a good friend's sister was killed training for a Triathelon. She was biking in the morning and hit by an SUV. One of our Oregon swimmers was similarly killed earlier this year. Every time I read about a Triathlete it seems somewhere in the story they had to spend a year recovering from when they were hit by a car. Is this as common as it seems? I don't know what we can do,but it seems we should do something.

Matt,
If a cyclist is biking at or near the fog line, you are required by law to slow down, and stay behind the cyclist until you can pass safely (a minimum of 3 ft is required by some municipalities- more is better).
If you remain in "your" lane, and an accident occurs, you are legally at fault (not that it does the cyclist any good at this point).
Please drive and bike with consideration for others.
