1- Berri and Ontario is a critical point in Montreal. Just like Saint-Joseph and Iberville, or Parc and Des Pins, or Notre-Dame and Papineau, or anywhere on Maisonneuve.
2- She was crossing Ontario, heading south, meaning she was riding full speed from Berri hill.
3- Although most cars heading north on Berri don't make a left on Ontario, it happens sometimes; most cars heading south continue on Berri but they can make a right on Ontario too. That is why one should never go down Berri hill at full speed.
4- I certainly am never riding full speed at this intersection, even if the light is green. I am way too aware of the dangers of some stupid car driver turning on Ontario without looking out for bikes.
5- When I'm riding, I'm at war. I'm at war with cars. I know exactly what they can do to me. I can foresee their every move. I trust no one.
Conclusion: This accident would have never happened to a road warrior. This was clearly a clueless victim. If anything, we're all better off now that she's off the streets and bike paths. One less reckless rookie to look out for. But I agree with you that she should have been wearing a helmet. Since helmets are for girls.
I totally agree with the Road Warrior. He might be a bit of a misogynistic asshole, but he makes sense. People riding bixies don't know much about bike riding in the city. If they did, they would own their own bike. By renting those cheap bicycles, they think they're in for a joy ride but what awaits them is an army of blood thirsty, mentally challenged, anal-aggressive progtards with only one goal, to seek and destroy the cyclists. I am not surprised by this. Not surprised at all.
