    1. As a cyclist, such sad news of yet another passing always grieves me. Reciprocally, also as a driver, when I see cyclists after sunset with no lighting on their bikes, I understand how easily these fatal accidents can occur.
      John, (the specifics of this particular case may not be one of lights on that particular bike) but perhaps the provincial government could work with school boards on posters in schools reminding kids that drivers simply can’t see them fast enough if they don’t have lights on their bikes.
      More reminders may save valuable lives.
