Saw my first accident ever back in Sept '11 and it was a car hitting a cyclist and I was walking back from a LBS to work. The car just hit right into the guy and he was dressed just the same as the OP but the guy was not homeless drunk he looked to be in his 50s but probably could not afford a car. The guy hit him pretty hard but he did get up and walk away from it but he was about an inch away from being crushed from the waist down. The car ran over his entire bike and proceeded to drive another 100ft before actually stopping, when the motorist got out he looked old enough to be my great grandfather (I am 28). It was pretty shocking to see and was definately a motorist fault on this one the guy was riding on a MUP that crossed over, however if he had been on the road I think this would have never happened.

I live in a city that looks rather down on cyclists in general which is odd since I am about 20 minutes south of Minneapolis (rated #1 in '10 I think). When I go into the city I have much more faith in motorists there then I have ever had in any suburban city where 90% of people are on their cellphones or yelling at their kids driving these giant vehicles. A place were I see more drivers at the gym then I do at the bus stop.

A former co-worker of mine rides the same way he rides against traffic, I told him it will get him killed doing that but he refuses to listen to me. Most people pulling up to a intersection look left first and that is what we are all tought left right left, and most pull well past the crosswalk.
