Fire Truck Knocks Bicyclist Onto PCH; City Pays Claim

Road Bike Cycling Image

A Laguna Niguel man was riding along East Coast Highway when a Newport Beach fire truck clipped him, knocking him to the ground and nearly running over him, according to a claim filed against the city.

James Moro, 26, filed a claim seeking $6,000 to cover medical and bike repair costs; he settled this week for $3,900, he said.

“I’ve been waiting on the check til I consider it official,” he said. He hoped to get the full amount but said he needed the money. “Oh well, I’m tired of waiting,” he said. The city factored in the bike’s depreciation, he said.

The accident occurred at 6:05 p.m. May 6, when Moro was on one of his regular bike routes along East Coast Highway. “I was cycling…as far to the edge of the road as possible when I was clipped by the mirror of a Newport Beach Fire Department truck,” he wrote in his claim. “He violated my space.”

Seattle Plans Side-street Pathways For Cyclists

Seattle plans side-street pathways for cyclists Bicycling greenways — networks of residential roads that are outfitted with speed bumps, landscaped curbs that make portions of a street narrower, or stop signs to give cyclists and pedestrians... That's the idea behind "greenways" — networks of residential roads outfitted with speed bumps, landscaped curbs that make portions of a street narrower, or stop signs to give cyclists and pedestrians priority over cars. Greenways have become a political selling point for Proposition 1, a proposal to add a $60 annual car-tab fee to collect $204 million over 10 years for transit, pavement, pedestrian and cycling projects. Proposition 1 includes a potential $937,500 a year for two miles of greenway per year in addition to those already planned, according to a city-budget scenario. Seattle is building its first greenway across the Wallingford area this fall and will install signs for a future route on north Beacon Hill, while advocacy groups are suggesting routes in at least three other neighborhoods. For several years, Seattle has painted bicycle lanes or icons on nearly all major streets, in hopes of encouraging people to ride. But when her 5-year-old son's bike is attached to the rear, she's not so nimble.
