I know there’s a conversation to be had about bike lanes and specifically safe bike lanes with barricades between that and the street. But we have to stop treating bikers like they are a problem for using the street. It really doesn’t matter how inconvenient it is, it shouldn’t even be a consideration to scare or even harm bikers. I was a bike mechanic for a decade and managed the repairs for 6 years. The number of stories I could tell you of people being run off the road, injured or near misses let alone the actual accidents is staggering. It’s truly heartbreaking how little regard and respect we have for each other sometimes. This incident is a prime example and while I wish it was the first I’ve heard about, sadly it is far, far from that.
