Ryan Currie was found early Sunday after crashing his bicycle along a stretch of northbound South Coast Highway in a 'protected' bike lane set off by plastic pylons and asphalt curbs

Ryan Currie, a 48-year-old Encinitas father of four — who lost his wife to cancer five years ago — was killed a week ago Sunday when he crashed his bicycle in Cardiff. Sheriff's investigators say Currie was not wearing a helmet as he rode north along South Coast Highway 101 shortly after midnight.

In supporting the project, city leaders said the bike path design provided a more secure way for less-confident cyclists to get to the beach. The lanes were installed on both sides of the highway south of Chesterfield Drive in 2020. The lanes have been popular with parents of young cyclists — but criticized by sport cyclists who bike long distances and travel at higher speeds.
