There is that stupid helmet BS again. What a way to absolutely de-value a persons life.

Cyclist Killed in Orlando
i worked for this guys pedicab business a few times when he was in town. he was a really good guy and has children. his friend and fellow pedicab driver was with him when this happened and witnessed the event. theres no mention of a pedicab in the blurb so i think they may have been riding home at the end of the night(they used the detachable trailer type).
this makes me so sad.

Hm. 3:07 AM. I'm not sure I'd feel safe in a car on the road at that hour, let alone a bike.

so sad. did he live in Pittsburgh at some point? your original post implies that...i think?

erok, he was partial owner of a pedicab business that operated up and down the eastern united states. he was in town for all the steelers games, which is how i came to work for him. do you know if there is a bike pgh-like organization in orlando that would be reporting on this? i am having trouble finding updates after the initial report.

AtLeastMyKidsLoveMe, Eddie was most likely working orlando's version of the south side bar scene. unufortunately, being on the road at that hour was part of the job.
