Why not add, the cyclist also confirmed that his message, sent telepathically to the woman, was confirmed as received.

She was 81 years old!!

No amount of so-called cycling etiquette or rule following applies. Hell, if you have to, you get off the damn bike, you walk it around her and you say good day m'am.

What is all this equivocating? A woman is dead, an elderly person, who was out getting exercise and enjoying life (someone's grandmother or aunt, sister, mother) and we are bickering about 'on your right' 'on your left' and bell ringing??

Ear buds. Cyclists wear them. Yesterday a woman on cap bike share was listening to an ipod and almost mowed down a pedestrian as she was turning (no slowing down for her, and forget a 'call out') onto Adams Mill from Columbia, and the pedestrian was crossing 18th.

URBANETTE, Bob, Jellenp and Hogwash +1 each.
