A Benbrook man who was an avid cyclist was killed Saturday morning. He's being remembered as a dedicated, retired educator who enjoyed riding with friends.

“She said she didn’t see us. Didn’t see us. She was very, very upset.”

The driver did stop and is not expected to be charged.

This makes me furious, but it’s completely expected.

Cars are the only weapon where you can kill someone without consequence, even if it was pure negligence or entirely on purpose.

    As a motorcyclist and bicyclist, I don’t agree with the idea that it’s the victim’s sole responsibility to be visible at all times; there is a minimum expectation of sanity behind the wheel of a multi-ton vehicle when it comes to following rules, expectations and the law.

    Based on this article, I don’t think this person ought to be permitted to drive again, they’ve proven that it’s too much responsibility.
