Was looking at CNN and read this article: Bicycle injuries: Is the right-of-way fight getting ugly?

The fact that we as cyclists are just nothing but moving targets with no legal recourse is disturbing. Nothing gets investigated and we are blamed for everything that happens.

My heart goes out to Michelle Matson.

The really sad part was reading through the comments. I know people hate cyclists, but I was beyond shock at the terrible things that were said. This lady was hit by a car, nearly killed, has metal rods and pieces of asphalt in her and all people can say is how stupid cyclists are and they deserve everything that happens to them.

Is this a problem in Europe or just a USA thing?
