Lately it seems that any news report on cycleist death or injury has somewhere in it what they were doing wrong. Here in the Bay Area recently a teenager was killed and all the reports seemed to lean on that he was stopped to put out a cigarette.

So he was a teenager who smoked, does not make it any less tragic.

We all think this, see someone ride without a helmet, wrong way, dark clothes at night "idiot, hope he's signed his organ donor card" But we also read about cyclists doing everything right, signaling, riding correctly and get hurt or worse.
