<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>I used to see this boy and his
friend riding to school several times a week, thinking more than once that they
seemed to really enjoy the trip (and wondering why my 15-year-old daughter
couldn't make it the same school on her bike). It is marked Bike Lane--No
Parking on very small signs (I looked for them this morning and it's the first
time I've noticed them) at the beginning of each block and on the curve about
50 feet before the accident site. Landscape maintenance trucks are often
parked in the lane, as are dozens of construction workers' vehicles early in
the morning waiting to get in the gate to the Grand Del Mar hotel construction
site.<br>

She was not sure. She thought it was so marked, assumed so, but could not say
for certain. <br>
<br>
The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on her and the several other women
walkers she was with. It was a very emotionally scene. She also has 3 children,
including a boy only a few months past his 16<sup>th</sup> birthday. I could
tell she was still upset when she came to my home for dinner last night. <br>

Did you girlfriend notice if the Bike Lane was also Marked "NO
PARKING"? As far as I know it is legal to park in a Bike Lane
unless it is marked otherwise. As others have commented, it is not
uncommon for vehicles to be parked in a Bike Lane that is marked No
Parking. <br>
<br>
I imagine there are some lessons in this incident, probably not the time to
discuss them yet. Anytime someone goes down, it is sad.<br>
