Last week, a rider was killed going uphill in Big Cottonwood Canyon outside of Salt Lake City. (Big Cottonwood is a 14-mile climb, going from 5000 to 8800 feet.) Here is an article in the local paper:

I was interested in people's thoughts. The writer of the article apparently has decided that it is all the driver's fault, and I agree in part (not really knowing exactly what happened), but I wonder: If a biker is going ten miles per hour on a curvy road, where the cars are otherwise going 30 to 40, isn't the biker partially at fault if a car comes around a corner and runs into her from behind?
