That's really sad. I lived in Phoenix for ten years and know exactly where that intersection is. What a nightmare!

Re:ALWAYS watch your mirrors! 3 Years, 1 Month ago  
Man that sucks!! I you'd think you would be safe with that many bikes...hard not to see. I ride on a lot of 2 lane roads in Wisconsin. I'm always paranoid when I have to stop for a left turn (no turn lane) and I see cars coming up behind me. I'm probably going to get one of those things that flashes your brake lights 5 times whenever you step on the brakes. I saw it in Whitney's for like $39.

I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather.. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.

Don't think a flashing light would of prevented this accident, if he did not see 9 bikers. but anything you can do to be seen has got to help. It's Definitely a sad day for their families.Bikes are on the road here in FL year round and cagers still don't pay attention and can't drive for s@#t can only imagine if we had a riding season like many states and how bad it could be. RIDE SAFE. my2cents

I just saw this on the local news. Damn. It was a beautiful day here in Arizona.....perfect day to be on bikes.
What a horrible tragedy for all involved. To those who lost their lives.....RIP.
