The fact is that the world is full of dangers and it's our collective task to mitigate the chances. In this particular case, one could ask if the bike rider was following protocol or riding in such a manner as place themselves in harms way.
You sound like every newspapaer article, 4/5ths of the police, and 98% of the non riding public......'it must somehow have been the cyclist's fault.....surely the cyclist could have done something to avoid it.' While sometimes it IS the cyclist who is at fault, the vast majority of the time the cyclist is doing everything properly and still get's hit or an accident is created by someone who is inattentative while operating a vehicle.
