This one happened only a mile from where we live. I cross that intersection by bike frequently and I certainly do not ignore the traffic/pedesrtrian signals. Scary how people 'solve' disputes these days.
Be careful out there,

The incident is sickening and even more so, the comments.

That is why I NEVER read the comments - else I wouldn't ever ride the road again!

There's definitely some regional stuff at play when it comes to comments on mass media sites re: articles about cycling-related accidents. In some news comments things are more balanced and objective...I notice this is particularly true in areas where cycling is very popular, like much of the west coast. The same sorts of scenarios yield very different responses in other areas. I see the atmosphere in the media towards cyclists on the western side of MI improving (in large part due to efforts made by bicycling advocates in the greater Grand Rapids area), so hopefully that will carry across the state in the future.
