Crashed - who screwed up?

Consider that anyone on a bike with at least one foot on the ground is a pedestrian. They automatically have right of way.

Penny . Too bad to see what has happened after the Big Bang but maybe..

I can tell you (from partly meeting your description) that it is very hard to sell a used bicycle these days. 10 years ago I could find a road bike and sell it quickly for 300 dollars. Now (I live in...
