And why has no-one said anything about this post being dated tomorrow?

Because SPUCK put the wrong date on date on his eagle/swan post.

I notice the cyclist to the left on the shoulder and I wonder: Did the driver come back and try to pick up the spare?

He'll go back and get him after he does his 3 days jail time for manslaughter.

I think it's pretty sad that people can view a tragic accident like this and then blame the victims who were competing in a locally sanctioned event.

What about the fuckwit drunk driver? Why isn't this a discussion about how disgusting it is that people still think it's ok to go get themselves tanked then jump behind the wheel of a car?

We all get annoyed when our day is held up (usually) momentarily by cyclists who insist on using more of the road than they possibly require, but I don't think any of them deserve to die for that small arrogance.

I think it's highly possible the police officer moved his car over in order to avoid further collision/s.

Drunk drivers should be put in jail and have their cars crushed. They obviously don't have enough sense of responsibility to be allowed to control a deadly weapon.

I'd just like to add another voice to the chorus of WTFs at lumberjim's comment.

Of course a group of competitive cyclists on a straight, clear, near-empty road with a police escort had being plowed down by a drunk driver "coming".

Boy's got some issues.

lumberjim is just misunderstood; some of his best friends are bicyclists

I don't care if Mexico is across the street, if you go to Mexico to ride a bicycle, you can go take a flying fuck at a rolling donut. (Unless, of course, you come back with your bike tubes stuffed fulla weed, or coke...)
