I am assuming you were there to witness this - did she make it through the intersection OK or was she crushed as you predicted? It may look scary to someone with no idea of how to ride a bike in traffic, but it really is not that big of a deal. I have been in similar situations. You don't get to decide which people you share the road with.
yes. The lady on the bike was riding in traffic. The OP would have been on the sidewalk? waiting to use a crosswalk?
fair enough.
It's fairly odious to read posts by 'bicyclists'? about other bicyclists more comfortable than they are about riding in traffic - especially with pictures snapped from behind the wheel of a car, poor form in a bike forum.
