Tragedy Strikes: Remembering Champion Cyclist Ethan Boyes In a devastating incident that rocked the cycling community, champion cyclist Ethan Boyes lost his life in San Francisco on April 4. A federal grand jury has recently indicted Arnold Kinman Low, an 81-year-old man, for involuntary manslaughter and operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol in connection with Boyes’ death. Eyewitnesses recount the horrifying moment when Boyes was fatally struck by a car on Arguello Boulevard near the Presidio Golf Course. The suspect car allegedly swerved across the center line and into the bicycle lane, directly hitting Boyes. The United States Department of Justice has stated that Low was driving the car and was allegedly under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash. The consequences of driving under the influence can be severe, and this tragic incident serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact it can have. Boyes, a well-known figure in San Francisco and a frequent rider in the Presidio for training, was loved and respected by many. The SF Bicycle Coalition expressed their sadness and highlighted Boyes’ kindness and generosity of spirit. Boyes was not only recognized within the cycling community but also held the national record for Men’s 40-44 Sprints. His achievements were nothing short of remarkable, as he defended his title and qualified fastest in the 200m flying time trial at the 2019 USA Cycling Masters Track National Championships. The case is now under the jurisdiction of the United States Attorney for the Northern District of California since the incident occurred within the Presidio Trust, which falls under federal jurisdiction. As we mourn the loss of Ethan Boyes, let us also reflect on the issue at hand. It is imperative that we prioritize the safety of all road users, whether they be cyclists, pedestrians, or motorists. Incidents like this should prompt us to reevaluate our commitment to responsible driving and the prevention of alcohol-impaired driving. Our hearts go out to the family and friends of Ethan Boyes during this incredibly difficult time. May they find solace in the memories they shared with him and the legacy he leaves behind. Let us honor his memory by striving for safer roads and advocating for justice in cases where lives are needlessly lost due to negligence. Together, we can work towards a future where tragedies like this are prevented and where all road users can safely pursue their passions and enjoy the beauty of our cities.
