Some bicyclists were cautious Saturday but others sailed through the Near East Side intersection where a 45-year-old Madison man died after being hit by a car Friday night while riding his bike.
“This is the most dangerous section of the bike path,” said Mike Crawford, 38, of Madison, who was riding his bike Saturday on East Wilson Street at South Baldwin Street. The area is part of the Capital City bicycle trail.
“You slow down without putting your feet down because you’re trying to keep your balance,” said bicyclist Amy Steinberg, 29, of Madison. “You try to get away with not coming to a full stop.”
Police said bicyclist David W. Nieft died early Saturday after being hit about 7:49 p.m. Friday at East Wilson and South Baldwin streets.
