News is just breaking of yet another bicycling fatality, the third in Southern California this weekend.
According to the San Bernadino Sun, Pomona police are investigating the death of a bike rider near Ganesha Park sometime Sunday evening. KCBS-2/KCAL-9 reports the victim apparently died as the result of a fall.
No other details are available at this time.
And yes, I’m getting very tired of writing that.
This is the 10th bicycling fatality in Southern California this year, and the 4th in the last two weeks. Tragically, half of those deaths have occurred in Los Angeles County; this is also the second cyclist to die in the city of Pomona in just the last three weeks, following the death of Ivan Aguilar on the Cal Poly Pomona campus last month.
My heartfelt sympathy for the victim and his or her loved ones.
