It’s not a matter of whether you are going to get hit on a bike, it’s a matter of when….
And your chances increase exponentially when you bike like an obnoxious punk who thinks the traffic rules don’t apply to them. (Not saying that was the case here.)
agreed.. just watching the cyclists in their spandex and dentist mirrors on the saddle river roads speaks for itself.
no one to blame but themselves. they don’t own the road and the rule is single file not 3 abreast blocking traffic
Yeah, they all think they’re in the Tour de France for some reason in their stupid little outfits.
They’re cute. Come on!
