Sometimes, it really is the cyclist's fault. By saying that the car "just drifted into him," it looks like the cyclist was either cruising just to the car's right or passing on the right. Either way, that's dangerous and stupid, and the cyclist was at least partially, if not entirely, at fault.

If Transportation Alternatives really takes up this idiot's case, it will be an embarrassment to all cyclists. Colin Beavan needs to learn how to ride in traffic correctly before he starts lecturing others.
