That is true. Cycling can be dangerous if caution is thrown to the wind. I stand corrected in that many people do not realize that a speeding bicycle can kill a pedestrian or another cyclist. This is another good reason to learn how and where to ride a bicycle. There have been deaths from head-on cyclist against cyclist crashes in which one of the cyclists was travelling in the wrong direction, at night, with no lights. This is also why sidewalk cycling and mixing cyclists with
pedestrians is not wise.

It is also difficult to understand why those cyclists that killed that gentleman got away with a simple fine. Speeding, at night, with no lights, downhill? Just unbelievable. But that's the way it is all the time with motorist/pedestrian and motorist/cyclist accidents here in the USA: motorists are treated perhaps too lightly. Maybe we cyclists need to be held to a greater accountability, as Michael and Danny have pointed out.

Thanks, Michael W.!
