A similar incident comes to mind. This man was riding top the right off the fog line on a 4 lane divided highway. He didn't survive.
Cancer survivor training for pelotonia struck and killed while riding bike

What do we learn from these incidents? Is riding a bicycle inherently unsafe on roads where closing speed exceeds 25 mph?

MUPs and bike lanes make me feel comfortable, safe, and like a second class user. Infrastructure is designed for motor vehicles, not bikes.
