Creative Thing is simply saying that it is really upsetting to be hearing about a cyclists getting killed. He has installed memorials for 4 fallen riders already. It's starting to get really upsetting that this is getting so frequent. Sorry if you think that is douchey to feel that way.

From what I gather from the postings to the original story, made by a rider who was with Michael at the time, a group of 4 riders were descending a steep hill at about 40 mph, when the went through a curve. Coming out of the curve, they came upon a truck backing up at a 45 degree angle to the riders. The truck was in the bike lane as well as the right traffic lane. They had to make a quick decision and Michael veered to the left and into the rear of the truck.
Tragic at any rate, and yes, we need to ride defensibly at all times.
