  1. whoa! I always consider Alpine the safest of the 280-crossing options. any updates on this?

  2. What is a white bike doing at the scene of the accident? I am sorry for the pain of Ms. Ward’s family and friends, but please do not affect other people’s children. It is eery to see a lit up white bike on the side of the road at night. She was riding where there is no bike lane and the bikes merge with cars. It was a risky move.
