I this she's arguing for road awareness. She says:

  • the road was not lit (happens in NL too by the way)
  • the other cyclist was on the wrong side of the road
  • the other cyclist had lights off (!)
  • education:

Back home, my family never owned a car, so for the first 23 years of my life, the bike was everything: school, groceries, even carrying passengers or furniture. Children in the Netherlands must pass a cycling traffic exam at school

TL&DR; it's not a car blame post. It's a road awareness one

I'll be honest, a rider barelling down the wrong side with no lights or helmet is not going to get "more aware"

We know these dickheads.
