According to reports, the cyclist was driving straight on Hillsborough and the cart driver turned in front of him, not seeing him due to being "blinded by the sun" (her words).

Even if he WAS wearing a helmet, he still could have died from the trauma.

It happened at 8:30 am, so it wasn't dark...

Ear buds would have changed anything, since the cart driver "didn't see him" so how could music play a role?

To me, it sounds like you're making excuses for the cart driver...

In short, what rustyp is saying is "it was the bike rider's fault".

It's obvious from the comments that many Villagers hate bike riders.
