  1. What a sad story. My grandpa died in a bike accident as well. You did a god job at including the important information like ages and location.

  2. You packed a lot of details into your summary. These guys were almost the same age. Sad, but 8 p.m. is not a good time to be riding your bike in November.

  3. Way sad. Many cyclers are getting killed because of drivers that don't pay attention. There should be some kind of awareness for this kind of thing.

  4. This is really sad. Where was he riding his bike? There was someone hit the other day where I live who was riding their bike. I don't think the biker was paying attention, and he crossed the street when he didn't have the right away.

  5. It's so sad that something as simple as riding your bike could be so dangerous. I think that people really need to pay more respect and attention to bike riders.

    • Run-on sentence: The cyclist was killed, authorities have yet to identify the man.
    • You include the time, but what day did this happen?
