Cars & Bikes: Winnipeg Cycle Chick pens another beauty

Out of all the local bloggers on cycling I confess I like Winnipeg Cycle Chick the best.  I'm even a bit jealous of her prolific prose.  Jealousy is a wasted emotion though so better to appreciate talent when you see it.

The chick did a piece on a cycling courier that was hit and run by an SUV driver.

Bikes and cars on the road together is a contentious issue so the post generated many responses including a couple from myself posting as Cris.

While the issue causes stress and often makes us weary re-hashing the same old - same old, Andrea Tétrault (AKA Winnipeg Cycle Chick), hit's a home run telling the story of a car-bike collision but without the typical contemptuousness conveyed by anti-car or anti-bike perspectives.

It's worth a read as are the reader comments, some of which do express divisiveness, which the Cycle Chick would like to see disappear as it's the human divisiveness that causes the problem
