Earlier this year a skate boarder was knocked down by a taxi
on King Street and was killed. A few days
after, my wife and I passed by the exact spot where he died, and a make shift
memorial was erected in his memory. I
don't know the exact circumstance in which he died, but I believe the taxi
driver was later charged.
As someone who rides a bike to work everyday, I know how dangerous it can be riding a bicycle downtown Toronto. I have had my share of "accidents" involving cars and streetcar tracks.
ReplyDeleteI ride a lot too, but rarely on the roads, for the very reason you mentioned.
