    LOL! What a copout attitude! Thanks for making my day, and
    too bad you can't see this! 🙂

    I can see it. And I'm surprised you can't see the "blame the victim"
    mindset in the original post.

    He said "Those who advocate against separate paths and want to "seize a
    share of the road" from motorists, might contemplate how freezing
    weather changes the wisdom of this."

    IOW, riding on the road - instead of a separate path - is not wise.

    If the driver had skidded into pedestrians walking on a sidewalk, he'd
    have killed them in just the same manner. Does that mean it's foolish
    to _walk_ in the winter? Must we never leave our cars to be considered
    "wise"?

    Granted, "Never travel except by car" is a common enough sentiment.
    But I never thought it was very sensible.

    And neither is "We need bike paths everywhere," which may be the OP's
    message.

    This is the same idiot who does not want you to wear a helmet either. At
    least he is a consistent idiot and that surely counts for something. I like
    my idiots to be thorough going idiots like Frank K. and not part-time idiots
    like some others here on RBM that I could name.
