I hadn't seen this mentioned here, so I thought I'd provide it as a
cautionary tale. A few days ago in Loveland, Colorado, a prominent local
neurologist and political candidate, in his earlly 50s, was killed on his
bike while competing in a triathlon. He and a car were both approaching an
intersection, crosswise. The policeman monitoring the intersection for
traffic waved the car through, apparently misjudging the relative speeds and
thinking the car would clear before the bike arrived.
I guess the moral of the story is, even in a cop-monitored intersection, you
still need to pay attention to traffic.
