This happened last year, but it’s a reminder that “stray bullets” (i.e. moving vehicles) are still a danger to everyone.

    Now you say:

    Read my comments, I’m not arguing the incident, I’m arguing against shitty clickbait.

    Earlier you said (emphasis yours):

    No info here other than some random-ass tweet claiming there had been an accident.

    You can do better than this.

      Yes, exactly, provide proof or it’s just a claim. That’s it. We’re circlejerking over a shitty clickbait article based off a tweet that provides no additional information. We can do better than this.

        i… i’m not circlejerking over anything. the same thing happened in my city to the ghost bike of a good good man. this shit is very sad and extremely sucks.

        look i’m sorry that Canadian Cycling Magazine doesn’t meet your journalistic standards or whatever, but “this is clickbait” is a very weird reaction to this article. sometimes the tweet is all the information there is and publishing it elsewhere helps inform people who are not on twitter–of whom i am one, and was one back in december, 2022 when the op’s article was published.

        at this point, i think you’re actually mad about something else. i don’t know what that is, but a normal reaction to someone taking the time to answer you questions about veracity is, “oh, thanks” and not… whatever this is.

        (ps: it’s interesting to me that you called BLU “a guy.” it feels kind of like calling the ACLU “a guy.”)
