As a cyclist I’m sadly used to media coverage that pins blame on riders and ignores the larger issues of car culture.
This @WSJ story is truly an exception...it’s a vigorous 360 examination of cyclist deaths and the car issues at the core. A must read: wsj.com/articles/the-most-da…

Too often health/fitness world overcomplicates things, digs trenches around their particular activity being absolute best.

Urban cycling shouldn't be an extreme sport -- it's not about dicing with danger and showing off your psychic ability to tell when someone is about to do something stupid. It should be easy and safe for anyone.

Moscon expelled from Tour after he allegedly hit a Fortuneo rider early in the stage. He was also DQ from Worlds for hanging onto team car. Crashed Sebastien Reichenbach. Suspended for 6 weeks for racist insults directed at Kevin Reza.
If Moscon was slower he would be gone
