If you look at some European countries where the automobile driver is automatically charged with a crime where there is an accident involving a cyclists. Then the driver must prove that they where not at fault and that they did everything reasonably possible to avoid it. This is because they recognize the power imbalance and vulnerability that exists between a person riding a bicycle and a 2 ton moving machine. The consequences and implications of any collision to the cyclist is obvious. There is a real need to for our policy makers to acknowledge this fact.
It just makes sense that we should find ways to encourage bike usage instead of marginalizing, radicalizing and to continue to criminalize that activity further by tax paid police stopping them from doing what is perfectly legal in Idaho. Rolling through a stop sign.
