We all need to make the commitment to work TOGETHER to make it safer for cyclists everywhere. This is truly sad. My best wishes go out to Harvey’s friends and family.

No response so far. Has anyone else heard more about this effort?

I e-mailed him directly to give my condolences, and just so everyone knows there is to be a memorial service this week.

This first email seems to indicate he was not hit by the car. As you noted some reports have said he was hit. I wish it was clarified. I'd like to ask the LA Wheelmen, but I feel like it might be considered crass. BTW, there will be a Memorial ride, TBD, sometime after the 20th. DT,

In a curve nevertheless! WTF?????? Why are we always in such a hurry that we endanger our lives and those of others?!? Why do people in this city feel entitled to do as they like in their cars? People die every day in automobile accidents and we as the city still lobby for faster and wider streets. STOP IT ALREADY! Bring on the street calming and the enforcement! No accident is just that. Drivers killing people get away without any punishment from the system. If a person kills another, they should have their license taken away for good and they should be locked up! If we would punish those who are "too important" to pay attention, then people would be more careful and would think twice about their moves before they endanger someones life. Sorry for the rant. This pisses me off! Where is the driver?!?!? I want to talk to him! A car should not pass a cyclist going downhill on the right! In a curve nevertheless! WTF??????

Bike lanes on La Tuna would be GREAT. It’s true, it can happen so easily, even to an expert like poor Harvey here.

It sucks to hear that someone dies while riding a bicycle. But if I'm to go, that's exactly how I'd want to go. Man… It sucks to hear that someone dies while riding a bicycle.
