For those who don't know that area, there are multi-use paths (north and south side) separated from the road on Victoria St, where this cyclist was hit.

For a car to hit someone, they would need to be turning in or out of the business entrances without stopping/looking, which would mean they were at fault 100%.

No charges have been laid, but hopefully this will change.

Far too many cyclists being killed in Ontario. When are we going to take things seriously?

I took my bike apart again to change a bunch of stuff and drove the little 90's golf I borrow from time to time. Parked at work next to a ram, an f150 and some other monster I didn't recognize. The hood of each towers over the golf and reaches about my eye level. Nobody ever hauls anything in these shitty things. They should require additional licensing and permits. These are always the guys that try to pass without fully changing lanes where the road signs indicate cars and bikes are single file, and only to stop at the light and get passed by me again, but thankfully that is where the bike lane starts.
