Tragic Cycling Incidents in the City of Newport Beach

Two cyclists were killed in two separate incidents this past Friday and Saturday in the city of Newport Beach.  The stories hit especially close to heart; the incidents occurred in areas where I frequently ride.  My thoughts go to the victims’ families.  The local cycling communities and coalitions will sure be reflecting upon the events in the days ensuing – how we can better protect ourselves and make cycling on the street safer for everyone.
