When I look at the streetview of where the crash happened, the parking lanes seem to have a wide buffer for the door. I wonder if he was in the parking lane to avoid riding in a lane with large trucks. This sucks.

E-biker killed in Manhattan crash was top synthwave musician ‘Starcadian’ | Spyke
But cities insist on not building protected bike infrastructure.
Oh, gosh. Was just talking about him to one of my friends. If you want reccs by him, I like "Dance or Die," and "Freak Night."
A van slammed a door into him and THEN he got run over, just a failure on multiple levels, jesus.
They said he passed due to head trauma. I'm really curious if he was wearing a helmet. I can't imagine a helmet can protect you from a box truck.
My nightmare is getting doored while riding next to parking.
I always try to ride a door's length away from cars and leave extra space in case someone pulls out abruptly
Still a good idea to wear an e-bike or DOT/SNELL rated helmet if you're going faster than 15-20 mph, especially in cities.
Humanity has suffered a great loss. Go make your fantastic music up there, friend.
