This is a picture of Kylie Bruehler attending a memorial service during her parents funeral. They were hit by a pickup truck while riding a tandem on the shoulder of Highway 16 in Bexar County. For those of you that don't know, San Antonio resides in Bexar County, just to give you and idea where it happened.Recently Texas Gov. Rick Perry vetoed legislation in June that would require motorists to give a three feet passing distance for cyclists. The officials say that the truck driver lost control of his vehicle, and therefore was an accident and is not at fault. There are a lot of problems with cycling laws today. I don't have an answer on how to fix them, but something has to be done. Especially with the ever growing popularity of cycling and commuting by bike.
Hit the jump for another picture. Be warned, it is a little more disturbing.
If this is what happened to the car, can you even imagine the cyclists?
