This is what keeps me off bikes.
The guy could have done nothing to avoid this and it was totally the car's fault.
I don't know if he lived or died, but he was carried away in an ambulance after they scraped him off the pavement.
It's not how careful you are... it's how blind other people are.
There's no protection on a bike.
No thank you.
