I know that I can generally see the cyclist's point of view and take their side in most accidents... but this rider ran a red light on one of the higher-speed roads in town. I don't think that the blame can be put on visibility at that time of night, given that sunset didn't take place for another half hour. My heart goes out to the cyclist and I hope that everyone learns a lesson from this accident - STOP AT STOP LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS!

People, not speed.
