Default Driver deliberately turns into cyclist and causing cyclist to crash

Cyclist’s headcam captures crash with car

I don't why the headline states "high speed crash" because the cyclist
was only doing 20mph.

Once upon a time there were concerns that people could not survive on trains
doing more than 20mph. The breath gets sucked out, y'know.

There are three little understood things that separate cars from bicycles.
The first, of course, is that the problem with trains led to the development
of breath anti-suck out equipment. This is energy consuming so is difficult
to fit to bicycles.

Then, we know that steel is magnetic; the polarity affects mental function
and car manufacturers are careful to position the sheets the right way round
to improve the calmness, intelligence and reactions of those inside. At
least, we are constantly being told this is how drivers behave.

The third is that cars and bicycles are affected differently by the laws of
physics: a car is heavy enough to behave according to classic Newtonian
mechanics; a bicycle is small and light so it behaves according to, as yet,
little understood quantum mechanics. That's why cyclists shift space-time so
that they exist nowhere but everywhere simultaneously. And helps explain why
they are invisible in daylight but easily seen without lights at night

I think you might be on to something there. Where's the cat? He's
been on our tandem, but not recently.

And yet drivers can't obey 20mph limits as it is "too slow" for them - funny old world.

When did you last clear out your pannier?

Keep a close eye on him.

He might turn into a cyclist.
