I'd say that they accepted the risk, and that they can't accept the risk without accepting a share of the blame. > But I find placing blame on a cyclist for accepting this risk to their safety from reckless motorists absurd. I find knowingly riding a bicycle in unsafe conditions absurd. It's why my bike has sat in my garage for 5 years; I can't ride on the raised sidewalks, and I think it's suicidally stupid to ride in the bike lanes that are separated from motor vehicle traffic by a few feet and a white line. Frankly, I don't care who's to blame, if I wind up dead. It's not a risk that I'm willing to accept.
