Thats like saying that a girl who walks home from a bar after having one drink and gets ***** deserved it because she shouldnt be drinking and walking, she "put herself in that position." Under no circumstances should any cyclist EVER be hit in the face by a pedestrian while minding their own business, period. Imagine how impossible it would be if every time you past a pedestrian you had to assume that they would swing a 2x4 at you? You can only prepare so much, you can only be sooooo aware of your surroundings. If I had a taillight out on my car is it my fault if a drunk driver re-ends me? I dont think so. Having a drink and riding a bike are extremely fun, individually or in combination. He already said he was not drunk. He was probably UNDER the legal limit to drive so why not bike?
