Prayers, but what has their skin color have to do with this?
Sounds like obstructed vision. Parking lot, intersection — probably a truck, van, etc. parked there and these guys came around the corner a bit fast.
Geez, that’s awful.
Did they have their clothes on?
The helmet law croud doesn’t like to hear this, but bicycle injuries tend to be worse than motorcycle injuries. Apparently, the height above the pavement is a more critical factor than is speed.
Did they have gloves on their hands? Need to protect your hands you know!
We’ve got one “Transient” here who is often seen pushing an overloaded shopping cart.
Can’t say I’ve ever seen one on a bicycle.
Yecch. I was in one bike accident and the doctor said my helmet saved my life. I hate wearing the thing, but I would never ride without it.
Still, it seems remarkably stupid to go into an obstructed intersection at high speed, even if you have the right of way.
I’m paranoid. The only question is, am I paranoid enough?
Anyone else notice bicyclists disproportionately do not follow traffic laws/signage. And they’re the first ones to give you the evil look as I drive by in my truck.
I am not sure what the local laws where this happened are but where I am riding a bicycle on the sidewalk is illegal even though it’s a common occurance and seemingly unenforced.
