I disagree. A light honk is beyond annoying to a cyclist and the driver is often distracted by trying to find his horn and may drift into the cyclist.

Personally, I have a mirror attached to my helmet. I see clearly all oncoming vehicles. I also use my ears as much as my eyes.

This cyclist, as he was training for a triathlon had probably protected himself as much as possible with colors, helmet etc.

As a member of the college Campus Crusade for Christ ministry, his family can take comfort in his eternity with the Lord.

Maybe to you, but not to me, when I was cycling.

Now that I know you don't like it, I will be sure to honk my horn at every cyclist who rides along the road. Thanks for the information.
