Where did this happen -state, country, etc? Katy, near Houston TX. Harris County contains Houston. From a local making a personal posting, I think this guy was riding a recumbent. http://www.katytimes.com/ http://www.katytimes.com/articles/20...472805704..txt |

The Katy Times will have more details on this story as they become
available. Was the cyclist crossing an intersection on the Katy Trail? |

Though no time for a useless complaint, I would amend the title into a
much proper one: 'Car driver hits and kills cyclist on his bicycle' Though no time for a useless follow-up either, I think the MORE proper headline would be: "Cyclist hit and killed by auto driver." Either way, this news sucks. |

The gentlemans name was Larry, and he was riding a recumbent bike. |

So far the Katy Times has not updated the story. Apparently the
publishers feel it is acceptable to report a story without using the victims name, or even the name of the person who murdred the cyclist be improper use of a motor vehicle. |

Either way, this news sucks. Amen to that. But since we're also griping about usage, why the term "pedal cyclist?" Why not just "bicyclist?" Bill |

Why not just "bicyclist?" Ah, but you missed that, in my improved version, I simply said "cyclist." (This is sick. I'm starting to feel like that "banana" guy who's always trolling here. A fellow cyclist is dead. My condolences to his family and friends. Be careful out there, everybody.) |
