While crossing a four-lane on 10/23/13 street in a crosswalk on my bike (there were no dismount postings) a pickup truck doing about 35-40 mph slammed into me shattering my left leg. The police blame me even though I was 3/4 across the road and merging into a bike lane when I got hit. My story is common. His insurance company expects mine to pay to clean the blood off of the truck because of the arbitrary interpretation of the law. We cyclists and pedestrians are just targets. It isn't right ... it isn't fair ... it isn't justice.
