Seeing so many bicycles smashed in the bike lane creeped me out. It took a long time for me to get where I could ride my bike at night. Yes I know you can see the lights coming up behind you but I am never sure they are not in the bike lane. The very idea that those cyclists never knew it was coming my make the hair stand up on the back of my neck for months to come. Cyclists in a bike lane are about as soft if a target as it gets for a truck.
