Hey look, a recent example of a bicyclist not only injuring but killing a pedestrian because they chose not to obey the law.

I hate the pedantic bullshit of elitist cyclists like yourself

So we'll see this cop sentenced to vehicular manslaughter? Let's see if that happens. I'd love to be wrong.

Just to close this out, out of respect for the lives of Milton, the cop, Josh all others cited above... I'm not really a cyclist. I like it, its fun, and I ride safe on the handful of rides I have each year.

But I might be a pedantic little shit. ;)

You're not a pedantic little shit. You're arguing with a jerk.

Equating cyclists running stop signs to drivers killing cyclists in bike lanes is ridiculous, especially given that the cyclist in the example pled guilty to homicide and drivers are - literally - never prosecuted for killing cyclists.

Don't be so quick to demean yourself in the face of asinine attacks.
