RIP, but I really hate the way in which it is reported as the cyclist collided with the car, rather than a car ran him over (not that I know the facts). However I doubt a 20yr old cyclist riding into a wall would be fatal so would judge the car to have taken some part in the poor guys death.

Grrr, newspapers and reporting ticks me off. No wonder some people think cycling is unsafe.

I did notice the wording of the reporting. No indication that either party was responsible but "The biker, a male in his 20s, suffered fatal injuries after he collided with a car on Thursday afternoon." Definitely shows a bias?

I dont mind newspapers reporting things, only as long as they get the facts straight.

RIP poor guy

Looking at the picture in the MEN it looks like a 20mph zone with a separate bike lane?

RIP
