Scaaaary
The rider could have easily been crushed under the wheels of the car. I never take the lane when I would impede traffic at a walking speed, THAT will piss off motorists. I cringe when I see that bad form. I never jump the red when there are cars lined up behind me unless I know I can out pace them in an instant, just get over and chill for 10 seconds while they blast up to the next red. I have ridden various amounts in the following cities: Detroit, Flint, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, Columbus, San Francisco (I was a bike messenger there in 1988) and Chico. Many many others where I was just visiting or passing through. The driver is totally to blame and needs to be ticketed at the very least.
