The other day, a bicyclist was killed while crossing some train tracks in San Jose, CA. He was killed by a train.
It seems that he tried going around the traffic gates that come down on the streets and sidewalks.
The northbound train had passed, and I guess he thought he knew better and went.
It was the southbound train that killed him.
I hate to sound harsh, but really, what do you expect when those pesky stupid striped gates come down in your path? They’re not installed to be mere annoyances.
I have to wonder if he’s one of these wonder-folk that ride around without helmets also?
Me? I like to learn from others behavioral flaws… it saves me the problems later.
