It does suck for anyone to get hit by a car, especially when they aren't wearing a helmet (a helmet saved my life last summer by the way).
The #1 reason why people have a negative attitude about bicyclists in NYC are because these food delivery guys who cut people off, ride on sidewalks, ride down the wrong side of the street and have no regard at all for people around them.
I work in Midtown (48th & Park Ave.) and I see it every single day, a woman crossing the street getting nearly run over by a food delivery guy going the wrong way down the street and not wearing a helmet to boot. They ride like complete morons and act like a*sholes about it.
That is why I felt zero sympathy when I first read this post. Maybe if this guy had been wearing a helmet, he wouldn't be in critical condition and would have made it home with just a prescription for ibuprofen, rather than having a cracked skull and brain trauma.
holy s.h.i.t, you're more of an a.s.s.hole than i imagined. you're making wicked generalizations about everyone who works a certain job (by the way, i thought it was those CRAZY MESSENGERS who gave bikers a bad reputation), and saying that your bad experience with them is enough to balance out DEATH, make you not give a sh.it when somebody dies.
that is wicked f.u.c.ked up.
