Cyclist dangers

Even as cyclists, our first reaction to stuff like this is to ask "was s/he wearing a helmet", rather than "who was at fault?", "what was the driver doing?", or - much more basically and pertinently, "how safe is that intersection/area?"

Olympic cycling gold medalist Bradley Wiggins has prompted debate over whether cyclists should be forced to wear helmets following the death of a 28-year-old man in collision with a bus outside the Olympic Park.

Very few people wear helmets in the Netherlands. Everyone rides. No one is scared. It's very safe.
