BillsFan4 Posted August 30 Posted August 30 Oh no! What a tragic story. I can’t even imagine what their family is going through right now, and a day before their poor sister’s wedding too. Ugh. I feel so bad for them. 1 Quote

djp14150 Posted August 30 Posted August 30 (edited) This is why I refuse to ride a bike on the right side of the road that does not have bike lanes. Edited August 30 by djp14150 Quote

Yea, I have trained for several Tri’s , and had many close calls, especially on more rural roads. Have no idea what type of road this happened on, but I swore off bike training by myself about a decade ago. Only in larger groups now out where we do not affect traffic. May peace find his family at some point. Quote
ExiledInIllinois Posted August 30 Posted August 30 Wow! So sad... RIP... Here's the breakdown. The guy was gonna pass left in the oncoming lane, but vehicle ahead of him moved left to avoid bikes... The jerk then went right and plowed into the bikes. There's gotta be a special place in hell for jerks like this guy! "John Gaudreau, 31, and Matthew Gaudreau, 29, were riding their bikes north on County Route 551 in Oldmans Township on Thursday at 8:19 p.m. At the same time, Sean Higgins, 43, of Woodstown, New Jersey, was driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee north on County Route 551, according to investigators. Higgins tried to pass two vehicles ahead of him and entered the southbound lanes, police said. An SUV in front of Higgins moved to the middle of the roadway, splitting the north and south lanes in order to safely pass the Gaudreau brothers as they rode they their bikes on the right side of the road, according to investigators." 😔😟 1 1 1 Quote

Another Fan Posted August 30 Posted August 30 Horrible story. When I read stuff like this I’m reminded life as precious no matter how much it can feel like it sucks at times.

That should be punishment enough. 1 Quote
