What a horrible tragedy. Pretty sure I've seen him riding the outdoor track that's two blocks from where I live. Some local Nextdoor posts are reporting that the driver was drunk. Hundreds (thousands?) of cyclists including me take the exact same route when heading out for a ride from SF to Marin. |
It's tragic and a little bit unnerving for me since I ride that route almost every other day.

Tragic, that is a bummer.

I used to sleep in the bushes right there when I was homeless.

Horrible story. Half the city goes up that way to ride in Marin. I heard on the news the car was speeding and got him on the windshield. |

Note the Nextdoor post in this story … |
Avoidable tragedy. We need real consequences for driving under the influence. RIP
Surprised none of the police or media statements mentioned wether he was wearing a helmet or not. They usually love to point that out to put blame on the victim. Like it would matter one way or another getting ran down by a vehicle. |
terrible. on the road we all ride too.

I often saw Ethan training at the Polo Field cycling track, but I didn't know him personally. We introduced ourselves and exchanged a few pleasantries a while back, but never really talked much so I didn't know of his accomplishments in the track world until this happened. I often admired his smooth and powerful riding at the Polo Field and I thought to myself that this guy must be a competitive track rider. Now I know, which makes me feel really sad for what we lost, and ...Angry that it happened.

Hard time perhaps..make room by releasing the many who are in jail for petty weed possession offenses. The 3 strike stuff... |
Brings me back to when my little brother was hit and went through the windshield of the car that had swapped lanes. His head injury was always in question if that was a contributor to his suicide at age 26. He was the strongest cyclist I ever knew.
