It does sound like that cyclist was really careless.<br /><br />However, I just have to comment a bit more, as a cyclist myself, who both rides in work clothes when I commute and in "Tour de France" racing gear--though I am anything but a racer, just someone who enjoys road riding.

I have a theory about cyclists - if they're wearing go-to-work clothes (skirt, suit etc) they are usually careful, use hand signals and obey lights. If, on the other hand, they're decked out like Tour de France competitors (and there seem to be lots of those wannabe's in Victoria) they wind in and outPondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115841618725638085.post-46234212812150119532014-08-20T05:50:43.890-07:002014-08-20T05:50:43.890-07:00Sorry and ouch!!
