Cyclists are stupid, dangerous, irresponsible, and rude.

Of course not, because SUVs don't cause accidents, people do.

Except that news stories are ordinarily written to absolve the driver and place responsibility on the car. The usual phraseology is something like: "Dymwhit was driving her 2009 Mazda on Straightflatwide Road when it crossed the median and struck the 2007 Chevrolet driven by N.O. Cent."

I'm not sure what my point is. I'm just especially ticked off that Ben Sollee had to cancel most of his current tour because Florida roads are unsafe. Just, bah.

That's true! I wonder if it's a legal thing since the driver is 'innocent until proven guilty'?
