    I'm absolutley disgusted at this! How could people be so freaking blind!!

    This happened in my city, A massive group ride put on by one of the gyms, and not one but THREE riders hit by a car.


    Here's the story. http://www.news.com.au/sundaymail/st...54-952,00.html

    Grrrrr.... Makes me so mad. I'm just glad noone was killed. Bikes were TOTALLED though. Saw it on the news last night.

    I'm sorry. Why are people so careless...I wonder if drivers who actually kill or seriously injure a cyclist are genuinely sorry, or if they just figure the cyclist had it coming.

    A person has to wonder where the drivers brain was. It is not like a deer running out in front of you that you don't see. This was a group of riders. Crazy world! Thank goodness no one was seriously injured or at least that is what it sounded like.

    The comments section attached to the article is interesting reading. It seems motorist attitudes are pretty much the same in Australia and North America.
