Where did you find the report that detailed the cause of the accident? Or are you doing exactly what you are accusing others of and making assumptions?

Like it or not, it *is* safer on the trails. And yes, works the other way too; like it or not it *is* legal for bicycles to be on the road.

I’ve seen bad behavior from both cars and bicycles.
