Vehicle vs. bicycle fatalities are unnecessary. If vehicles would simply drive the speed limit and give good clearance and right-of-way to bicyclists, there need not be any more people dying. Just a few days after a cyclists was struck on Madison's north side, now another accident has claimed the life of a cyclist near Governor Dodge State Park.
I know the prevailing view is that cars can and should be able to go wherever they want, as fast as they want, and without concern for what they run into... but it is really worth it to kill someone just because you were driving carefully?
