A recent news story, and related commentary from the Melbourne Age newspaper, regarding the death of cyclist James Cross in a "dooring" incident.
Predictable, preventable, and so very very sad. Again, the excuse given is "I didn't see him/her." Doesn't matter. He's dead and it could be prevented.
The Australian incident and fatality statistics in the news story outline just how much more we need to know about real vs. perceived cyclist behavior.
Anything that can be done to foster "Share the Road" and "Bikes Belong" attitudes can only help.
Rest in peace, James.
