Made the same choice as this woman many, many times. All you can do is hope the drivers of whatever vehicles are behind you decide not to murder someone that day.

The cyclist “left the bike lane,” according to Duty Insp. Jason Bartlett

the cyclist swerved into oncoming traffic

Just look at this fucking language, they make it sound like the cyclist made the choice to fucking die

Anti-cyclist language is as common as copaganda in the media once you know how to look for it. I've been commuting by bike for 10+ years and it's unbelievable how biased the North American media and public are against cyclists
