Paul A Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) Yes, cars would not be expecting an EUC to be on a high speed highway/freeway. Lane splitting/filtering, travelling in a non existent lane. Weaving amongst cars in an uncontrolled/ unpredictable manner. Just as a rider is passing alongside, a car can move sideways and hit a rider. Blame a car driver for not checking mirrors? Or inexperience of rider?

Did the truck slam its brakes and the rider was tailgating (dispite the smell)? Early morning, garbage workers in a rush to finish their shift, we don't know the circumstances so lets not jump to conclusions.

MetricUSA Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Sadly, it looks like riding too fast is to blame here, truck was going straight not turning, most likely slowing or stopped... And sad to see an emergency nurse end up like that... Euc is an E-BIKE and must go at E-BIKE speeds on the road... That is a max of 40 km/h... Even at that speed major damage can happen...

tenofnine Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) Yea in a high density area like SF at that time of night I would be lit up like a Christmas tree and still be riding like I'm invisible to other cars. I feel for this guy and his loved ones and hope it wasn't him being reckless. I can only think of 2 ways this could have happened he was going straight in a bike lane or shoulder and the garbage truck was turning right without signaling or he was speeding and not following the traffic laws. If they garbage truck driver was at fault they need to make it right, the news description of the breakdown of the crash doesn't make sense.
