I am deeply saddened to hear of the tragic death of Dave Salovesh and extend my heartfelt condolences to all who knew him. Recently I was in San Francisco where another cyclist was killed due to lack of protected bike lanes. After mourning her, the bike community organized a Human Protected Bike Lanes protest. They set a date and time and lined up along the route where she was killed, wearing T shirts and holding signs demanding protected bike lanes. They do this each time somebody is killed, in addition to the ghost bike. It was a moving demonstration and generated plenty of publicity. Enforcement isn’t enough. Those of us who travel without armor need protection from those who move about in massive, heavy deadly machines.

I didn’t know Dave but would be pleased to join a Human Protected Bike Lane action and would bring a dozen cyclists I know from Arlington. How about next Sunday, April 28?
