What do you all make of the media's reporting of this incident with their incendiary description and innuendos, e.g.

- $4000 racing bike
- according to "alleged" witness, the cyclist "didn't look like he tried to stop"
- so far, the cyclist has not been charged in the "deadly collision"
- online training log (Strava) showed the cyclist has logged speed well over 25 MPH previously (hours before)
- people say cyclists in CP go over the 25 MPH limit all the time
- a beloved Connecticut mother struck by out-of-control cyclist

And I also found the more tabloid they are, the more sensationalistic they get.
