Very sad news
The first bike share fatality in North America occurred early this morning in Montréal, Canada. According to La Presse, the 33 year old woman was struck by a truck.
We at The Bike-sharing Blog are extremely saddened by this event. We hope all of our readers remember this woman and particularly if you participate in this year's world-wide Ride of Silence on May 21, 2014.
Bike-share's safety record far exceeds that of cycling in general. With close to 15,000,000 bike-share usages since bike-share began in North America, we reflect on this sad event.
update: The police report that the woman was wearing a bicycle helmet.
