PASADENA - A bicyclist was killed Thursday night when his bicycle and a car collided.
The 61-year-old man died of his injuries at Huntington Memorial Hospital, said Pasadena Lt. Pete Hettema. He said the bicyclist wasn't wearing a helmet.
The man's name wasn't released because his family hadn't been notified yet.
Hettema said the crash happened at 6:13 p.m. at Colorado Boulevard and Terrace Drive.
The bicyclist was riding eastbound on the sidewalk of Colorado Boulevard. He collided in the crosswalk with an Audi making a left turn from westbound Colorado Boulevard.
Hettema said the driver, a 29-year-old Pasadena man, stayed at the scene.
The driver wasn't injured, police said, and no crime was initially suspected.

Crap. I think I know this guy... Did a lot of Googling, still no info on-line. If anyone can find out, his name may be Alan Deane...

Anyone want to go to this? Bring a helmet to hold in court.

I'll be there. I know that Alan would do it for me if it was me who was killed. He would probably do it for most of us. He has the dubious distinction in my life as the only cyclist I've known personally to die in traffic. He was a very gifted and giving person, a real free spirit.
A legal eagle told me that we probably won't be allowed to speak, but the presence of many cyclists in the courtroom could have a profound effect on the decision the judge makes.
