I'm going to play devils advocate here.
How many of us didn't wear helmets until the last 15 years or so? Rode around without seat belts? While there are risks involved, how about an acknowledgement from the biking community that at least she was on her bike instead of driving, and modeling getting around with out a car?

Yeah, I'm not going to acknowledge that. Car safety seats and seatbelts are required in MI. In all likelihood she would have used these precautions in a car and put her and her child at a LOT less risk on the road. Given the time of day and direction she was headed I doubt she was using her bike as a substitute for a car.
