Quote HistoryQuoted: lmao She needs to come stand on the long narrow 2 lane 45mph winding road near my house that these bicycle fairies always want to ride down during peak traffic times, causing a mile long backup and near-head on collisions when people try to go around them. Fuck cyclists. Go ride your children's toy at the public park. Roads are for cars. Nobody wants to run the Tour de France on the long narrow 2 lane 45mph winding road near your house. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: If he had hit the brakes, he probably would have gotten run over (probably still would have been a pileup, but maybe not as bad). They were tightly packed, with other cyclists to his left, so swerving would have run him into other cyclists, or pointed him at the sign holder's body (instead of her arm). In the overhead video you can see the bike that hit the sign was in the second row and tried to pass the front row that was already 4 wide, that was dumb with them so close together. |

What crime did she commit? If they don't want people standing that close to the road, then why do they let them? She wasn't the only one on the side of the road with a sign. She just got too close. What she did was dumb, but the fix would be just not to let people encroach on the race like that. Now they're going to try to throw the book at her for what? Being a little careless? No wonder France loses all the wars.

Quote HistoryQuoted: So they rode into a stationary object and the object is at fault?  He was slightly behind the rider in front of him. If his front wheel hits that riders back tire he's going down anyway. A Peloton is not easily shifted. |

Why is her dream any less important than theirs?
 She was facing in the direction of travel and got sideswiped by someone passing her. Share the road. Did the ones that were following too close to stop get in any trouble. Remember stay a safe distance behind the vehicle in front of you so you have time to stop.

This obviously happened because the bicycles are unsafe. They need to be equipped with common-sense safety features:
Forward collision warning blind spot detection lane departure warning airbags |

Did you watch the video? She was barely intruding on to the track and likely didn't even realize it. This is the site that is all about personal responsibility -- what was the vehicle operator's responsibility to avoid the collision? What about the other vehicle operator's responsibility to operate their vehicles in a safe manor, leaving space to stop without colliding into the vehicle in front of them? |
