At the time of the deadly crash, police say, Friedes was wearing a helmet and was riding in a protected bike lane. The driver of the vehicle that struck Friedes has not yet been charged.

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Not really a protected bike lane. The car driver entered the bike lane, at high speed, without obstructions.

I just looked at Google Street View. No fucking protection.
