Magnus White was a rising multidisciplinary star, winning a junior national championship in cyclocross in 2021 and earning a place on the U.S. national team
We do have separate bike lanes on the bypass here, too, but some kinds of bikers simply don’t use them. Those wannabe-tour-de-france-bikers always drive on the road on weekends. All normal bike drivers use the bike lane, because it is actually better off than the road. They were built at the same time, but on that roads there is a lot of heavy truck traffic between the quarry and the motorway. Looks like most of them don’t do this for real training, but to hang out their spandex-clad butts to anyone who would like to pass.
I never said “here” was “there”. I was just bringing up the point that a lot of bikers won’t even use an existing and good (better than the road!) bike lane.
I agree, but there are bike routes along there.
Meaningfully separated! Physically protected from 60mph hunks of flying metal.
Yeah. There are. I’m not sure why people think there aren’t.
There were not any where he was riding. Which is the point of the comment you’re replying to.
Where? He died right here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/oUXtHqR3kTFUGDFN9?g_st=ic

On the “Diagonal Highway” near 63rd where he was hit?
Edit: yeah there wasn’t shit https://maps.app.goo.gl/oUXtHqR3kTFUGDFN9?g_st=ic
Just some awful thin bike lane which he was probably in (text said Toyota drifted into shoulder)
