Hehe, I love riding a bike in my city. A lot of people drive expensive luxury cars, so if I ever get hit by one, I'll just sue the pants off of them!

On another note ...

sad for the bicyclist

Not having accident related health problems the rest of your life > being able to sue the pants off of someone.

That's really sad. About twelve years ago, a man my mother worked with was bike riding with his 9 year old son on a Sunday afternoon. They were riding in the city on the sidewalk. The father was leading and the son was only a few yards behind. Some idiot in a rented U-haul truck was leaning over to fool with the radio when he looked up in time to see that he was about to rearend a car that was slowing for a red light; he swerved to miss the car, jumped the curb and came to a stop on top of the boy on the bike. The boy did not make it.

Being the father of a nine year old myself, I can't imagine turning around to see that!

That and how much you wanna bet he gets little to no jail time. I don't care if you were drinking, high, or fell asleep. You killed someone, period. Your actions now you should pay. But Like I said, he will get a slap on the wrist and a year or so from now have nothing to show against him. :|
