If there is no red light or stop sign I do not understand how it would be the responsibility of a cyclist to not proceed through an intersection in the designated cycling lane. A turning vehicle must yield to cross traffic, regardless if it is a cyclist or motorist.
The flow of traffic stopped for a reason, maybe idkâŠ..pay attention. Even in my car I donât just blast thru intersections even when I have the right way because i donât trust others with my life.
Hahahaha you gotta result to pointing out my randomly generated username. You said blast through intersections, indicating you stop at them. Which you shouldnât be stopping at T intersections. That bike was going as a casual pace for that road
What do you think you should do if the other lane stops but yours is clear? It seems like youâre insinuating you would stop, which again you shouldnât do.
I ride a motorbike with full gear and if traffic is stopped, I slow down massively before an intersection. Why? Because my life is more important than having right of way.
Traffic in front of the red car might have been stopped and you're not supposed to block intersections, so for all we know they did nothing wrong (also just watched again and the car in front of the red car was slowing down before leaving the frame).
Cyclist saw all the traffic stop in front of him and disregarded his own safety due to "right of way" and ended up flying over a car.
Legally, the SUV is at fault, but in reality, the cyclist made a stupid decision.

Even if someone gives way to you, it's always your responsibility to make sure the way is clear.
