Ms. Raulston's family is interested in exploring whether there is a basis for a wrongful death suit. We are now looking for eyewitnesses to the accident or anyone who was present at the scene of the accident in its immediate aftermath. Please leave your contact info in email to davepagl@gmail.com. Thanks for caring. Dave.

Fuck the fucking was she wearing a helmet or was she not wearing a helmet!. I am OUTRAGED that this truck driver saw fit to drive so obliviously without care & attention, she could have been wearing a fucking diving suit but the fact is HE HIT HER. The young lady that was hit & has died was a very old childhood friend of mine who's sister i grew-up with in South east London & this driver has Devastated thier lives thru his reckless behaviour. i happen to be a Central London Bus Driver & I am fully aware of people ignorance I as a rule don't cycle on the roads due to the fact you cannot controll other peoples action which are generally stupid. I pride myself on my driving & yes everybody makes mistakes but by the way IT'S CALLED A WING MIRROR!! I feel the need to vent my frustration I was not there obviously & Im sure if this driver has a soul he will never forgive himself & he shouldn't London Roads are different from New Yorks obviously but I can imagine they are just as busy. My very old friend has lost her life & seeing off the whim comments has stress me out so if I have offended anyone I oppologise but I feel the need to point out she is not a statistic she was a warm wonderfull person someone you could only be blessed to meet & her life has been taken by someone driving like a total prat. Roxane England.

Your wrong "Green" . Cyclist do not have the same rights ! Lets apply common sense here, Car/Truck/Bus/Tractor-trailer, Verses Cyclist . Cyclist loses !

Also, I seen an MTA bus speeding down Bedford Ave with a bicyclist in front of it honking it's horn at the person. The bus was literally a foot away! The bus had no need to speed considering it was stopping right there.

I also had a car service driver pin me with his car into another car on the side of the road. I asked him to move a little to the right because he was blocking the bike lane at a red light. He yelled "Get on the sidewalk" which is illegal and then moved his car to the right and pinned me. WTF is wrong with people. Don't drive if you can't handle traffic in this city. RIDE A BIKE!

First off, I live in the area and cars/trucks speed through the streets of Greenpoint especially where they cross McGuinness to make the light.

2nd. Bicyclists have the same rights to the roads and the same laws as vehicles. Lazy ass car drivers need to respect them and not shove them to the side of the road.

I'm sure the driver saw her and speed past anyway. He should go to jail.

what will happen to the person who killed her???

i drive and ride in this insane city. people get away with murder, really.

she was run down, and you wanna discuss bike lanes and the flow of traffic??

she was getting herself to where she was going, and run down, oh well the system that we live in says...??? you CAN run down a person on a bicycle, i'm sure they were in YOUR LANE! sick. sick. sick.

You gotta ride assertive in this city, take a lane, make yourself seen. If you can't do that, get onto smaller streets where you can. Sad news, as an avid cyclist and former car owner in Manhattan I can say you learn from doing both...when it's raining at night, behind the windshield, I can barely see someone crossing right in front of me wearing black, with all the lights reflecting off the wet pavement, wipers going, other cars passing, etc...and I can't tell you how many times someone thought nothing of darting in front of my turning car...walking or on bikes...they were lucky I wasn't going faster or had a couple drinks in me.

you asshole, i was saving that same speech for when you got hit by a car

Well McCunty, if I were to go walking through a freeway the speech would be well deserved. As I currently only walk between buildings and my car I don't think Ill die by car anytimem soon. In the meantime, gooooooooooooooo Fuck Yourself.

This is extremely sad. My thoughts and prayers go out to her friends, family and loved ones...

I am so tired of seeing this. In person on the news. What a tragedy.

If you insist on riding your bike in bike un-friendly NYC

WEAR A HELMET! WEAR A HELMET! WEAR A HELMET!!!!!!!!!

Such terrible news. I believe she was always on N. 6th and Bedford flyering for Artists & Fleas.

RIP, damn good DJ, a serious loss. Don't want to waste time pointing fingers to blame, just be safe out there.

So as scumbaggy as this sounds, where did she get that knit beret, looks awesome, wouldn't mind getting one.

Her's might be available.

Anyone riding on Nassau during busy traffic should take the whole lane. Ride right down the middle of the lane. It's too narrow for cars to pass. Stop for red lights. Never try to creep through the red light at McGuiness. Wear a helmet and use lights at night, despite how unfashionable it may be.

:(

it's so sad to see such an attractive woman go like this.

Would you feel better about it if she was less attractive?

-In response to some of the comments about bike lanes:

I ride down bowery to work every day, and honestly, riding in a bike lane is about the most dangerous thing you can do, since the cabs and delivery trucks double park in the bike lane anyway, pedestrians jaywalk between cars, and people open doors into the street. Not to mention cab drivers seem to think the bike lane is a turn lane.

I obey the lights and wear a helmet, but I also ride in the middle of the road. I live and work in Manhattan, and probably pay more tax than most of the people in the silly cars - they can deal with it.

Really, there shouldn't be cars or cabs in Manhattan at all. It slows down the buses and deliveries and pollutes the air for no justifiable reason. Lazy ass people and their cars, everyone's lives would be better off without them.

agreed: bike lanes are dangerous, so better to claim your space in the road.
