The invisible cloak of safety we all inevitably allow ourselves to believe is protecting us during training or racing, is instantly wiped away when reading something like this.

Ugh.  What a shame and simple waste of life.  Wife and two young kids. Not good in so many ways.  The idiot should serve time.  WTF, he still had the bike on his windshield????  I think I will look around a little more during a race now.

My heart goes out for the family ... what a tragic loss.  If there is justice then the driver will go away for a long, long time. 

That said, look at the comments below the story.  People scare me.

Agreed. A very, very sad story.

I also read through many of the comments, there are 31 pages. I read through about 12 pages and couldn't read any more. The rudeness and ignorance got to be too much.

I agree. The comments are rough, but people are hurting. People who DUI continue to do so until someone gets hurt. That's why there is no sympathy for this guy.

Y'all stay safe out there...
