Language and context has been forever failing cyclists in news stories. Interestingly it also fails motorcyclists.
This biker may have been a bike thief, but I am a little concerned - I would have expected a thief to possess greater skill than the average rider. They need to win the chases and evade, not get t-boned at obvious junctions.
Interesting how that story has "motorcyclist collides with car" not "motorcycle" or "driver", like it was a deliberate act!
