i blame the fucking bus driver for waving the van driver through.

Not the culture that encourage people to ride on the inside at all time?

hoefla in reply to @edscoble

why is that relevant?
do you just assume this person rides on the inside all the time? how do you know it wasn't actually a fine idea to ride on the inside (judged for that situation, at an appropriate speed, and able to stop for things like cars turning across path).
they got rear-ended hard by another cyclist, and you're blaming "cycling on the inside culture"?
well, I guess without it, the dopey cyclist behind might not have been there. seems tenuous.

Not really, cyclist behind him should've leave enough room for emergency stop in the first place, it just didn't helped that for the last couple decades it's always about riding on the very edge of the kerbs out of fear mongering, and then got blame for getting hit.
