I went back and referred to the NOACA bike map. This wasn't stated in the article the area of route 6 he was riding on is comfortable for confident and expert cyclists. This is in no way his fault but it also occurred approximately 11:30 pm which made this area even worse for any level of cyclist in my opinion. With the map again it has a bike lane further east on route 6 so this should make the city evaluate the need to extend the bike lane or establish a trail
That location on Route 6 where it goes under the railroad bridge and the 611 ramp is scary as fuck in the daytime. It is not a road I'd want to ride at night. It also curves sharply and dips after being straight and level for a while, so an inattentive driver can easily veer off the road here.
damn that is really sad to hear
