I don't think it's going to come as a surprise to you that I absolutely refuse to engage in a discussion of how we would have acted differently from the cyclist. These counter-factual narratives are absolutely useless in determining whether your method would have resulted in a better outcome, and there's a lot of less distasteful ways to make your argument than the implied criticism of the stricken cyclist's actions. Frankly, we aren't there, we don't know how it looked from the standpoint of the cyclist, and this will just degenerate in a debate over lane position with the stricken cyclist being used as a rhetorical prop.
