Is It O.K. to Kill Cyclists?

73. Hey, I saw a distracted jogger cause a bad bike accident

There were two bikers, paying attention, moving right along a road on the side - they looked to be training. They were going quite fast, but safely, and they were probably 6-8 miles below the posted speed limit. A jogger playing with her cell phone came trotting out a side street, not looking where she was going, right in front of the oncoming bikers. In order to avoid her, both bikers swerved from the pavement to go off the road. They had to react very suddenly, you understand?

One of their wheels hit the other, they both took a spill, and one had to go to the hospital. I think his arm hit a curb and he broke it.,

I stopped to give a statement to the cop exonerating the bikers. The jogger was extremely pissy about the ticket, but she was at fault, and only the fact that the bikers WERE alert saved her from the collision.

Sharing the road means SHARING IT. Careless bikers kill other bikers and pedestrians, and careless drivers kill other drivers, bikers and pedestrians. We all have the responsibility to be using public rights of way safely.
