The way your post is written implies that a lack of awareness by the cyclist was a substantial contributor to the crash.
That's not how I read it. To say that this person's death is a reminder to all of us to be careful does not necessarily imply that the rider's lack of attention caused the accident. It's just that, a reminder.
I don't think the OP is trying to say something critical of the C&V rider who was killed.
