The Driver is always at fault
In the Netherlands, the driver is pretty much considered always at fault in bike - car collision.
Here is why. In Toronto, it's so much easier just to blame the victim.

Bicycle Tour Puzzle improved.
Staff at the BLD had a little laugh at Tino's expense today. Tino posted an antique bicycle map
that encouraged cyclists to visit each town on the map as they rode. It seems that Tino missed the modern version of the puzzle that sends cyclists all over the place just to get from point A to point B. The map is readily available in most bike shops across Toronto. As I write this I can even spy one on Tino's desk right next to his 'Das Birkenstock' fanzine.
Did you know to get from Woodbine Station to Main Station via a bikeway you need to use bikeways 16 to 57 to 18 to 59. By car the distance between the two is 0.9kms and if you follow the bikeways it is 3.5kms.
See how things have improved over the last 100 years.

Another Anti-Cyclist Wants To Be Mayor In Toronto
"Jarvis has to be stopped."
Well, we won't be voting for that dinosaur!
More in the Star today ... translation: If you ride a bike stay off the main roads.
Those are for cars. Nice! Discriminate much, Mr. Rossi?
"Rossi was absolutely right when he said that “cars are simply a necessity for many people," and planners need to recognize that. However, his contention that this city suffers from too much traffic congestion due to a “war on the car” is backwards: the fact that we have so many cars on the road causing congestion is a direct result of urban design that has disproportionately favoured cars over other methods of transportation. The idea that we can somehow accommodate more cars on downtown roads while improving traffic conditions is fantasy. The best way to improve driving conditions is to offer better alternatives to driving."
