RE: Cycling etiquette; how to behave on a bicycle
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
No lights at night is another huge issue. We have a bunch of ppl who use the bicycle as transportation without paying attention to anything really, especially safety. The other day a road cyclist hit head-on a young dude who was cycling against the traffic direction on an overpass. From what I heard it was brutal because the road guy was doing interval training up the bridge, so imagine a 80-something kilo guy going 40km/h hitting someone head-on -- quite the energy.

Terrible! And you have to add the speed of the other guy as well. That would have caused quite a collision.
I once drove into the side of a car with about 30 kilometer an hour (not my fault). That already broke my cycling shoe.
Goddammit! That's exactly how I broke my tibia, except I avoided hitting the side, but ended up hitting the side of the front bumper while trying to escape. I flew over the engine hood.
