Sarah Schick, 37, a mother of two children, was cycling on Ninth Street near Second Avenue in the Gowanus section of Brooklyn around 7:20 a.m. on January 10 when a truck struck her in the bike lane, which is unprotected.Attorney Sam Davis said her death could have been prevented if better safety measures were in place in the notoriously dangerous stretch of Ninth Street that forces cyclists to share the bike lane with cars and trucks.
