After trying to avoid a red light. Typical cyclist not obeying the laws of the road.

BATON ROUGE - Emergency crews responded to a pedestrian hit by a vehicle on Perkins Road near LSU’s campus while on her bicycle Tuesday afternoon.
According to BRPD Sgt. Don Coppola, the bicyclist was on Perkins Road and wanted to avoid stopping for a traffic light at Stanford Avenue. The bicyclist turned on to the sidewalk at Standford Avenue instead and then tried to cut across traffic.
BRPD was on the scene and the pedestrian was transported from the scene by EMS. This is a developing story and will be updated as information becomes available.

Hopefully they write her a ticket and she gets stuck with the car's insurance bill

When you're racing that clock, you don't have time to stop for lights. Gotta get that new PR.

Riding a bike amongst Louisiana drivers just seems idiotic

Roommate a LSU had a bicycle for awhile. I told him he was going to inevitably be hit. Not 2 weeks later I'm walking back to my vehicle in the CEBA lot and BAM! there he is, got creamed in the parking lot.

it's not often I dont feel sorry for someone that gets hit by a car.
This is one of those times.
Also, is she hot?

I feel bad for the person who was hit. Hope they are all right.
But FOR GOD' SAKES PEOPLE BATON ROUGE IS NOT A BIKABLE CITY. GIVE IT UP. You cyclists have a death wish all of you.

Isn't there some law concerning motorized vs. non-motorized, the former having to yield?

It pisses me off to no end when a cyclist chooses to ride the road and disrupt the flow of traffic rather than bike the sidewalk if there is one present.

The only time I was hit by a car while riding was when a car ran a stop sign. Who knew both groups were capable of breaking laws and being assholes?
