Framing the story as "safe bicyclist still dies" rather than "drunk driver kills bicyclist" continues to highlight the necessity for bicyclists to prove that they do not deserve their injuries or death.

If you think the roads were developed for cars, you are mistaken. Smooth roads came at the dawn of cycling, to help make cycling safer for all.
The Tour de France typically covers 2,110 miles over a period of 23 days with only two rest days. On average, riders burn about 5,200 calories per day and about 110,000 calories for the entire race.
