    It was also the cyclists fault. Illegally trying to pass an ambulance along a curb. Now the old guy wants a million bucks for riding his bike around like an entitled asshole and failing at it.

      I don’t know if he was riding around like an entitled asshole, but it does seem the rider was technically at fault. The ambulance driver should have been watching for exactly this situation though too. It doesn’t seem like it should have happened if either party was paying attention.

      Is riding in the bike lane illegal? Do you not understand how bike lanes work?
