We have no way of knowing what actually happened, or who may have been at fault for this crash. But that doesn’t seem to keep the CHP from pointing the finger.

Cars are all spyware now but if you choose a bike to avoid that, the spyware in the cars will not be used to blame the person who kills you instead of blaming you for riding a bike

  You and I agree on this topic I think 100%
  However, I feel it's important to shift the mindset and narrative. Cycling is only perceived as dangerous because of cars.
  An accident involving a car and a person or bicycle typically is going to mean serious injury or death for the person hit by the car. The bicycle isn't the dangerous thing in the equation it is the car.
