Literally. I bike and drive and wouldn’t blame the cyclist at all, but I would hardly be surprised if I was hit while cycling at night in dark colors with even one headphone in.

Obviously, I would love to live in a utopia where cyclist can travel just as carefree as most car drivers, But we’re on two wheels and completely unprotected, so there is a certain level of additional caution that goes into traveling by bike. I just wish more people, cyclist and driver alike, used their common sense.

Speedy recovery to the victim.

I’m obnoxious and usually just blast it out loud through my phone like I would if I were driving - I would have headphones in while driving either, so definitely not cycling. Maybe bone-conductors but even then I wouldn’t want magic drowning out any part of my awareness.

Conservative in a sane country.
