The above is all I will say. Arguing doesn't solve anything.
No worries, cdl.

That can be said for just about any "accident", not just this hypothetical (unobservant) biker.^And if the cyclist hadn't been foolish, reckless and presumed himself above the law, none of it ever would have happened.
They don't work. People park/drive/stand in the bike lanes. In some cases they even use them as dangerous "passing lanes." Which is why pretty much every European city and an increasing amount of N. American cities have grade/barrier separated bike lanes.And please, I have to reiterate, no segregated bicycle paths/lanes with barriers or with different grading; what's wrong with the traffic rules as it is now?

Excellent idea. A bicycle safety blitz would be a great way of weeding out the biggest offenders. Most cyclists are unaware that they would easily rack up hundreds, maybe even thousands of dollars a day in fines if they were constantly being monitored. If I remember correctly, most bike offfenses carry a penalty of $270.
