Gosh, no, I wasn't offended. Just wanted to remind people to be alert on road or off. Deborajen's message is another reminder. Many Europeans do seem to be more bike and driving safety conscious, but you'll remember the tragedy to the Australian women's team earlier this year. The teen driver may have been on a cell phone (from a diary reference from one of the recovering riders). Leads me to agree we don't pay enough attention to training and penalties on the driver side. I can't remember ever seeing a reference to cyclists in a driving test or driver training (motorcycles, yes). Some opportunities for consciousness raising here.

Continued sympathy and concern for everyone impacted by these events.
