For those who don’t know that area, there are multi-use paths (north and south side) separated from the road on Victoria St, where this cyclist was hit.

For a car to hit someone, they would need to be turning in or out of the business entrances without stopping/looking, which would mean they were at fault 100%.

No charges have been laid, but hopefully this will change.

Far too many cyclists being killed in Ontario. When are we going to take things seriously?

    Or the biker wasn’t riding safely.

    Investigation is still open so let’s not jump to conclusions.

      Such a bad take. Even if he was riding recklessly (no indication in the article that he was), would he deserve to die if he was riding along the road on winter? How would that work exactly? Are you imagining him charging at 2 ton truck with a meter high hood?

        What a stupid question. I’m not even going to answer it. God damn that’s stupid.

          Funny how on these threads where someone lost their life always someone rushing to don their cape to defend the poor driver who killed someone.
