Johnny Gaudreau Cyclist

Such a horrible event where Johnny and his brother were killed by a drunk driver. I am by no means trying to take anything away from the loss that his family must feel. Or the horrible nature of the event. I do have a couple of questions. Again, these are obviously not important at all in the grand scheme of things.

1. Was Johnny an avid cyclist? I'm just curious is he was an avid rider, or just something he was doing for fun that day, but didn't ride very often. Every now and then you hear about professional athletes in other sports being very big into cycling (Bill Walton comes to mind), but had never heard anything about Johnny.

2. I think I saw in a crash report that the accident happened around 8:30 pm. I live in the Philadelphia area. This time of year, its full dark at 8:30 pm. Johnny and his brother being killed was the result of a drunk driver who was violating traffic laws. And I'm not trying to take anything away from that. Its just when these types of things happen I'm always curious about the details to learn if there are safety measures that others can take to hopefully avoid getting killed on the roads. Does anyone know if they had lights on their bikes?
