Tom Albergo.  He was taken to the Palomar Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead from his injuries.  He was not wearing a bicycle helmet and did not have a light on his bicycle. Cycling is a sport and activity that is healthy and can be enjoyed by people well into their twilight years.  It is a great way to stay active.  However, all cyclists should exercise the utmost care, especially when riding at dusk and at night.
