      By putting bicycle at the start of the news article, it makes the topic about bike riders instead of the topic being about bad driving.

      See the impression titles give, just by the ordering of the words:

      “Bicycle riders hit by car” - cycling is dangerous and don’t belong on the road

      “Car hits bicycle riders” - how sad, poor cyclists, irresponsible driver

    This is why I always will say that the share the road campaign is and will always be pure bullshit. I love to ride my bike, but if I have to ride my bike with giant trucks and SUV’s imma going to say fuck to that and drive my car.

    Cyclists need their own dedicated and barrier protected lane.

      I don’t even want to ride with mini coopers or vw golfs. I refuse to ride on a road improved, aside from a slow neighborhood

    Chavez told the Post in response to questions that he believes both bicyclists were wearing helmets.

    That stretch of 83rd Street has four lanes with no shoulders and a posted speed limit of 45 miles per hour.

    Lol, they talk about helmets.
