The woman's excuse: first, that she didn't see him, second, that he shouldn't have been there in the first place. Same ol' same ol'.

This is why one needs to press charges. Letting this sort of activity go unpunished hurts all of us. Motorists have to be told that bikes belong, and all road users have to be held accountable for their actions.
