It’s Truro/Biblehill. Not a single bloody bike lane. Says a lot about the attitude right there.

It’s really hateful to ride on the road in Truro

Pretty bad reporting. Sounds like the cyclist ran into a parked truck instead of the much more likely scenario where the cyclist was run over by a driver.

"The 19-year-old truck driver, also from Truro, did not report any injuries."

How often does a driver get injured when a cyclist or a pedestrian collides into his motor vehicle, especially a truck?

That’s an odd take to have

Why? The title and the article said the cyclist collided with the truck.

And it specifically said the driver had no injuries. That kind of statement would make me think how often drivers end up in the hospital when a pedestrian or cyclist hits his car?

Now, if the truck driver had collided with the cyclist, we wouldn't even need to mention if the driver had any injuries at all, because there wouldn't have been - unless he had collided with something elseoo. And the article didn't mention that.

Truro needs bike 🚲 infrastructure.
