Man struck by bicycle dies
An Austin man who was struck by a bicyclist and hospitalized last week died Sunday after being taken off life support.
Jessie McFarlin, 46, was crossing Loyola Lane at Manor Road about 10 p.m. Wednesday when he was hit by a cyclist traveling 25 to 30 miles per hour, Sgt. James Mason said. McFarlin had not been using the crosswalk, Mason said.
The bicyclist, whose name has not been released, had not broken any traffic laws at the time and stopped to help McFarlin, Mason said.
McFarlin had been on life support at University Medical Center at Brackenridge until family members requested that he be taken off. The nature of his injuries was not known.
Police do not anticipate charges being filed against the cyclist, Mason said.

Just proves that cyclists are hardcore.
That’s right.
