For those who don’t know that area, there are multi-use paths (north and south side) separated from the road on Victoria St, where this cyclist was hit.

For a car to hit someone, they would need to be turning in or out of the business entrances without stopping/looking, which would mean they were at fault 100%.

No charges have been laid, but hopefully this will change.

Far too many cyclists being killed in Ontario. When are we going to take things seriously?

    I have that, too. One day I was riding on a road that is signed for 35 or 40 mph. My radar recorded someone passing me at 80 mph.

    I will say the radar actually made me feel better in a way I didn’t expect - most cars actually do slow down as they approach. But I’m in an area where cycling is extremely popular.

      I believe that’s because the radar will flash the light faster/more intensely as vehicles get closer. I was told that this does get people’s attention.
