The bicyclist killed this week on Seventh Street was a 35-year-old designer who was making a new life for himself in Long Beach before a crash snatched him away from his family, according to a relative. About a year ago, Benjamin Rael moved to Long Beach where he'd gotten a promising new position managing interior design jobs at high-end hotels, his brother Tim Rael said. It was a fresh start. "He had several years of really hard times. He always stayed positive," Tim Rael said. "He worked his way through them and things were getting better. It's the best I've ever seen him in his life." Despite moving away from his family—including six siblings—in Arizona, Benjamin Rael stayed close emotionally, sometimes driving through the night or sleeping in his car to visit his brothers and sisters for just a day. "He was just an amazing guy," his brother said. "He had the biggest damn heart you can imagine." Police said Benjamin Rael was hit by a pickup truck when his bike veered into oncoming lanes at Seventh Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue around 6:30 a.m. on Aug. 2. The driver who hit him immediately pulled over and started performing CPR, but Benjamin Rael died after paramedics took him to the hospital, according to authorities.
