dutret has shown several times that he's intelligent, but he also continually shows that he is extremely prejudice and narrow minded, and this narrow-mindedness makes it hard for him to feel empathy or see beyond his own limited perspective. he has a clear vision of what should and shouldn't be done on certain bikes that sometimes relates to safety and sometimes relates to UCI regulations and if you don't follow his vision then you fall into his prejudicial groups. it's upsetting to see someone who has such an ego-driven view of humanity and feels nothing for those who aren't directly connected to him or living life as he believes they should be, and folks on here get upset about it because everyone wants to believe that everyone on a bike is somehow enlightened.

i agree with those who've said that you can't automatically place blame on anyone here. we share the streets with cars, and when an accident happens you can't automatically assume the cars are at fault, or that the drivers don't feel horrible about what happened. don't let your own vision of the world be skewed according to who rides a bike and who doesn't cause all this is going to do is lead to more conflict and prejudice. grieve for everyone involved, cause once you know you've killed someone - even if it's not your fault - your life is never the same.
