A bike is a vehicle too, and needs to be treated like a car, truck or suv. So why the hell are they apparently invisible to people??
Not just bicycles though, motorbikes have the same issues. I have a lot of buddies that ride and constantly hear stories about people merging into them and crap like that. I just don't get it.
Anyways, you said the area was heavily wooded and it was likely dark. I doubt a homeless person is going to be equip for riding at night either. Really just an unfortunate thing. From the sounds of it, it likely had less to do with her not paying attention in this case and the cyclist likely being practically invisible.
What do you say to her? Nothing. I'd just act normal. She's probably taking it pretty hard. |
It goes both ways. I live in Vancouver and some bycylists seem to think the rules of the road so not apply to them.
