The number of bicyclists we lose in collisions with cars, just in Somerville and Cambridge, is tragic and terrifying. (mas.wrong.tools)

I'm definitely not trying to victim blame by any means, my apologies if it came off that way. You're absolutely right, sounds like the driver was 100% to blame and cyclist happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I did not intend to imply that this particular accident was the result of a skill issue , and looking back I can see where it might sound like that. I know far too many strong cyclists that will never be the same after accidents in Boston.

The amount of disctracted drivers on the road is scary for sure. I love riding in the city but I'm also thankful that it is no longer my job.
