Default Cyclist Killed

Sad to report that yet another cyclist has been killed here in South
Florida. Mark Webb, a friend of mine and one of the few recumbent riders
here was killed early this morning. It has been a bad year for the West
Palm Beach Bicycle Club. Read the story:

Default Cyclist Killed

Sad news indeed.
On the flip side
This is only the fifth fatality of a recumbent rider I am aware of.
(In my 20 years of recumbent riding)
I see it as pretty decent odds.
According to the American Automobile Association :
42,000 died in cars last year. Such a common experience that few people are
alarmed!
900 on bicycles (no separation for style of bike)
USA statistics
My condolences to his family and friends.
