No, it's not. Where do get this bull s**t? Bicyclist riding alongside a roadway are killed all the time and most have their backs to traffic.
Now instead of evading the questions like some weasel, answer it.
If this bicyclist had been riding along the curb line towards traffic, is it possible the victim could have seen this vehicle coming at him and avoided it?

Yeah, cyclists get hit from time to time. Cycling is a dangerous activity. That one was an isolated case because the driver was acually trying to kill someone. If he had been riding against traffic with that particular driver coming toward him, then no, he probably wouldn’t have been able to avoid getting hit because the driver probably would have swerved into him at the last moment. I’ll give you this point—fewer cyclists would be hit from behind if they cycled against traffic. The problem with that is that a huge number of cyclists would be hit not from behind if they rode against traffic. No way in hell I’d ride against traffic. I’d probably get hit by a car within a month if not much sooner. Yes, traveling against traffic makes sense for pedestrians but it is foolish at the speeds most cyclists ride. I invite you to get on a bike and try it, preferably where there’s a lot of traffic.
