Another sitting duck CAR hit at a light... imagine that. This doesn't prove a bike would have been hit had they been in the same position, (cyclist garners more attention than another car) or that they can't be / aren't hit while sitting to the side in their happy "safe" zone.
I love that brilliant reaction time... you must be an outstanding athlete. So in seconds, you can evaluate what is happening and then make a quick evacuation and be right every time. Wow. I think some of us cyclists are merely human.
