One is that the bike doesn't seem to have reflectors, at least not ones that are apparent from the pictures above. The second was that there was apparently a tour bus parked on EP just around the area where the crash occurred and there was some speculation that the biker swerved wider to go around the bus. </p> <p>However, it looks from the damage that the biker was hit on the left side of the car and not the right, so I'm wondering if the biker was in the left lane or riding down the center median and was going left to right to get back to the south side bike lane at Washington.</p> <p><blockquote>eghee and homeowner a lot of people just don't want to bother with the above or mistakenly feel their safe in traffic then having numerous near misses with pedestrians. </blockquote></p> <p>Folks may not want to bother with the crossing back and forth (and personally, I think it's a stupid configuration), but late at night, with no pedestrians, in the rain bikers must look out for their own safety. This guy would have been better off riding up the service lane in the wrong direction than riding on EP in the dark and rain. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/prospect-heights/accident-on-eastern-parkway-last-night#post-768384 Tue, 21 May 2013 00:30:55 +0000 newguy88 768384@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <blockquote><p><cite>ehgee <a href="http://brooklynian.com/forum/prospect-heights/accident-on-eastern-parkway-last-night#post-768369">said</a>:</cite><br /> We need speed cameras.
