Odd reading this post, I saw a cyclist get hit today - NO he didn't get killed or even hurt. Van knocked him down and ran over his rear wheel. BUT- Cyclist was at fault. It happened about 100 yards in front of me, going down a one way street, van was pulling off a side (right hand turn) onto the road I was on. CYCLIST WAS TRAVELING WRONG WAY! Van was looking @ me, knew he had time to pull out and did so. Cyclist was very lucky he made it almost past van or else he would have been flattened. I stopped, Van driver was scared. Cyclist was hollering for van driver to pay for his bike (said he should have looked before he pulled out - even though it was going the wrong way on a one way street. I told Van Driver & cyclist I'd be a witness and cyclist backed off, he was a local college student (I didn;t think he was that smart!!!!!). I'm a cyclist but was really po'ed at that guys attitude. No names were exchanged, and all drove off (other witnesses stopped, including a few walkers whom I assume were college kids) excect the cyclist, he walked off carrying his bike as rear wheel had a 90 degree bend. Few of the walkers were calling him a dork.
