Washington Injury Law Blog

As I’ve blogged about before, more and more bicycles are hitting the roads with the high gas prices and push to be more green. As an avid recreational cyclist and Washington Bicycle Accident Lawyer I have seen the dangers that lurk out there for the bike commuter.

Another tragic bicycle fatality occurred yesterday morning in Sumner, Washington when a bicyclist who was riding on a gravel shoulder of a road hit an object causing him to crash and fall into the street. A dump trump was approaching in the lane the biker fell and was unable to avoid hitting the bicyclist. The biker died at the scene. My sincere and deepest condolences go out to this man’s family and friends.

The Greater Puget Sound area is one of the most bike friendly metropolitan areas in the country, but more obviously can be done. I encourage everyone to vote in favor of all bicycle friendly legislation that ends up on your election ballots.

Ride safe!
