I’m definitely not trying to victim blame by any means, my apologies if it came off that way. You’re absolutely right, sounds like the driver was 100% to blame and cyclist happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I did not intend to imply that this particular accident was the result of a skill issue , and looking back I can see where it might sound like that. I know far too many strong cyclists that will never be the same after accidents in Boston.

The amount of disctracted drivers on the road is scary for sure. I love riding in the city but I’m also thankful that it is no longer my job.
