It is an extreme shame to loose someone so young to such an accident.

It is nice to see that everyone wanted to praise the victim by coming to services riding a bike as she did, with flip-flops.

While such a demonstration is heart-felt and consequently worthy of praise, be aware, please, it is not advisable, for safety reasons, to wear flip-flops while riding a bike, especially in any traffic involving cars. It is far too easy to get your flip-flops, and subsequently, your feet, tangled up in the pedals in an emergency situation, or in a dangerous situation...

Let's start a new campus safety practice, in her honor, of not wearing flip-flops while riding a bike, ok?

Good point safety dude. I remember when I rode a bike I also saw people wearing a clip on their pants on the chain side to keep pants from getting caught in the chain.

Of course we had bell bottoms. LOL! But hey from what I have seen some retro kids wear those now.

I think that was awesome that so many biked to the services. I am sure she is looking down and smiling at that.

My condolences to her family and friends.
