Remembering city history

The Chronicle's Heather Knight:

San Francisco bicyclists remember the evening with horror, some still choking up when they discuss it. On June 22, 2016, a pair of alleged hit-and-run drivers killed two women riding their bikes, less than three hours and 5 miles apart.

First, the driver of a stolen car plowed into Heather Miller, 41, in Golden Gate Park. Then, a motorist blasted through a red light South of Market, striking Kate Slattery, 26. In the aftermath, hundreds of bicyclists joined a memorial ride to honor the two women, and thousands sent emails to the mayor demanding safer streets....

I bet San Francisco bicyclists don't remember that right after those fatal accidents the MTA's pro-bike director said this:

Ed Reiskin, director of transportation at the SFMTA, disagreed street safety changes would’ve helped. “The best bike infrastructure in the world would not have prevented these collisions,” he told the San Francisco Examiner.

Chronicle readers also won't remember what Reiskin said because the quote only appeared in the Examiner.

Speaking of blood and bikes, still waiting for the Chronicle and the Examiner to even mention that UC study on cycling and safety in San Francisco: Local media ignore cycling accident study.
