www.biketexas.org/en /infrastructure/texa s-bicycle-lawsCyclists has right to traffic lanes same as vehicles and must obey laws.I thought there was a law requiring 3 ft buffer zone when passing cyclists.

So sorry for the family of the biker. You would think there wouldn't be that many people out at that time and it would be more safe.

@redneck roy
Thanks! I knew you would know being a cyclist. This is very helpful info . I still cringe when I see a cyclist out and about this area because of the heavy traffic.For awhile there was a gentleman on Atascocita Rd going toward BW8 during rush hour and I would just cringe because people were passing him in the same lane.

My heart aches for this family. I used to see him almost every night on my way home from work. His bike was VERY well lit with a string of blue lights. When I saw him and his bike there I just cried. I will be praying for his family and friends.

This is, in part, why I fail to understand the lack of road planning down here, where so many roads have zero shoulder. Obviously, this does nothing to prevent things from happening when motorist strays from their lane or a cyclist makes an unexpected maneuver

Bicycles are transportation and must obey the laws but so do the motorists around them So tired of motorist not giving them the road they deserve!!! Sorry and praying for the family

Between now and Mid-April there will be many cyclists (including me) on the roads trying to get ready for the MS-150. But I try to limit my training to organized rides where there is usually a police presence in heavy traffic areas.

Comment deleted before posting out of respect for the family. But there does need to be some rational/logical discussions about the current laws.But for a later time and a different thread post.

Terrible.

I posted the video about this incident on Saturday.

Prayers for his family

@Posterguy @Posterguy it was on the bridge I passed it on my way home from work

@MooMaw The rules are you must give the cyclist 3 ft on either side. I am a cyclist and I have had school buses pass me close enough for me to touch the side of it.

@B12Fan I actually was riding that morning and came upon the scene at 8am and was not sure what happened. My condolences go out to the family and the driver. We all need to be aware of the other pedestrians (walking or riding) on the roads.

@analogkid supposedly 1960 will be expanding to 6 lanes and including a shoulder which will keep stalled vehicles and pedestrians safer.

His name was Mr.Glenn or as some ppl knew him Space Jam. He was the gentleman you would see with all the lights on his bike.
