The only thing not stated in the remarks above is very important to know and follow religiously:

1. Look BOTH WAYS before crossing any street or roadway, even a one-way street. Walking, driving, cycling, skateboarding, whatever.
2. If you can't see, you CAN'T GO.
3. If you're NOT SURE, you can't go.
4. The pretty lights do not protect you. They only establish right-of-way for ambulance chasing attorneys.

Unless the cyclist fell from an airplane, he was RIGHT THERE and visible to anyone paying attention. Sure it was his fault, but your wife is hurt for nothing. It is a dangerous world for those who don't pay strict attention crossing streets. And there are literally MILLIONS of !d!0ts out there doing the wrong things to endanger us. Be aware and awake around traffic or suffer consequences. If he didn't fall from an airplane, the knucklehead cyclist ran a red light without looking, and your wife stepped in front of him without looking.

I do hope they catch the dope. Be careful out there.
