I am greatly encouraged by the swift indictment for murder in this case. Despite the driver blaming the cyclist this quote perfectly sums up the situation:

«Quand un véhicule se retrouve face à un piéton ou un cycliste qui n’a pas de carapace autour de lui, il y a une réelle volonté plus que de nuire, de tuer. Ce ne sont pas les mêmes armes. Ce monsieur a tué avec son arme qui est sa voiture»

It was a lovely day for a bike ride. Sunny, -11°C, with wind calm.

Bicycle propped up against a wooden planter in front of a coffee shop. The season is winter and snow can be seen on the ground.

Little beats a successful bike swap trip. I hit the Brazen Dropouts Bike Swap today and found some tools, a Park Tools Big Blue Book of Bike Repair, and best of all a Smith Vantage winter bike helmet for just $40!!
