The number of bicyclists we lose in collisions with cars, just in Somerville and Cambridge, is tragic and terrifying. 😭 https://mass.streetsblog.org/2024/09/24/suv-driver-kills-bicyclist-on-memorial-drive-in-cambridge (I actually did check and make sure it wasn't @[email protected] we lost in this ebike crash yesterday. I worried.) #CambridgeMA #bike #SomervilleMA

    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.
