Eugene Bicyclist 
I’ve lived in Eugene for 11 years and 2011 is the worst year I can remember for fatalities and serious injuries to bicyclists. Perhaps my memory is bad (probably so at this point in my life), but there has been lots of this sort of news this year. What a horrible thing for the family of a student studying abroad…
I was thinking the same thing, Mark. There have been at least four fatal bicycle-car collisions since spring in Eugene, Springfield, and Cottage Grove.
My condolences to Craig Macfie and his family and friends.
My hope is that things like this will really get physically separated bicycle facilities taken seriously.
Ugh.
