USA Today decided to examine why drivers are killing cyclists and landed on a terrible Both Sides framing. We even have an avid cyclist appearance. This is a horrifically bad way to cover traffic violence.
The part that’s missing is the driver of said car likely just endangered that cyclist’s life. How fucked does one’s perspective have to be to justify sending someone to the hospital or grave because they were running late, going to miss their turn, arguing with a passenger, on their phone, under the influence, etc., etc., etc.?

I suspect the bike was already damaged by the car. I wouldn’t throw my undamaged bike.
Real sick of capitalist media pretending property is as important as human life.
Not the hood! What a terrible tragedy…
