Especially this:

"We have a lot of rural country roads out here, and people
who ride their bikes on these country roads usually know the
risk and assume the risk," Jacobs said. "They do the best to
protect themselves, but can't protect themselves against
everyone."

CYCLISTS ASSUME THE RISK?!?!? WHAT??!?
Would they have said that a car driver 'assumes' the risk
after rolling over their 4 ton suv?
