Why on earth would anyone ride a bicycle on that road? The way people drive there is no way in the world I would even consider it
Common sense ain’t so common anymore
That’s not the point.
Then what is? I said the road isn’t safe (which it isn’t) this individual is riding a bicycle on a road, in a area that has at least a dozen accidents a day on. I won’t drive anywhere near that area much less ride a bicycle
Bicycles don’t obey laws
some of us do!
Regardless of whose fault it is in the immediate sense, I feel for the injured person and wish them a speedy recovery. The bigger issue is our road design. The bike lane on 235 approaching that intersection is between the right travel lane and the turn lane. It’s an accident waiting to happen.

…Not if traffic laws are abided by, both drivers and riders. Just sayin’.
