Ready....FIGHT!

Drivers in this city are so stupid, pedestrians are well advised to look both ways when crossing a one-way street.

Hope that cyclist had insurance.

Whatever you say. Seattle is the only city I've lived in or visited where I've seen multiple drivers drive the wrong way down a one-way street or on the wrong side of a two-way street.

I saw a man on a bicycle miss getting hit by a car by about 2 inches on Monday near Sodo, because he was running a red light......the idiot on the bike, not in the car.

For whatever reason a lot of the bicyclists in Seattle think they have the right of way in any situation.

*Maybe* the biker was an idiot, but that doesn't make the Subaru driver less of an asshole.

Is it possible the "pedestrian" did something illegal to incur getting hit?

I'm not going to hang a driver of a car, simply because a pedestrian is lying on the ground.

Pedestrians don't always have all the rights.

Subarus are driven by WAY, WAY, WAY, WAY more-dangerous people than SUVs.

In the time it took me to type this, no less than 14 Suburus drove past my window. All were driven erratically and had Obama and/or NPR bumper stickers.

And then there's the fact that many people consider that bus stop and open air restroom as well. Mmm. I'm not going to miss that.

I will miss the cute dogs, the guy who jogs around the field all the time with his kid in a stroller and the teeny little kids bundled up for a day at the park.

cause he is sorry

I didn't say Seattle drivers are aggressive. I said they're idiots. East coast drivers may be aggressive, but they aren't so stupid as to cruise the wrong way down a one-way street wondering why everyone is honking at them.

Seattle drivers may not be all that aggressive, but they're still way too aggressive for their intelligence level.

@26,

The fact that the driver ran off seems to indicate that he/she was in the wrong.

just random question: what if the driver of the subaru was a cyclist who also owns a car, and didn't want to face the ridicule of hitting one of their own?

I mean since we have no facts and any wildly speculative theory is just as valid as another, you can't say it's right but you can't say it's wrong, correct?

What if assholes are assholes, no matter if they're on a bike or not? And since the story earlier about that british MP who drove his bike like an asshole--and I declared it as proof that all cyclists are assholes--then we can logically deduce that all cyclicts who drive, due to the transitive property of assholishness--are asshole drivers. Since hit-and-run is a total asshole move, it very well could have been a car-driving cyclist.

Since cyclists also own cars, so I say we blame cyclists for everything bad that happens on the road, ever, and consider the matter settled? just a modest proposal.

ALL Subarus are SUVs, since a few years ago when they deliberately had their entire vehicle line reclassified as Truck/SUV to avoid even the minimal mileage/emissions standards applied to cars.

Umm, no. It was just the Outback.

It seems you're way behind the curve since most of this thread is blaming the cyclist and not the motherfucker who ran away (and consequently looks a hell of a lot more guilty).

That doesn't let anyone off the hook, but perhaps it's not quite so automatic that we should be ready to hang the driver by his gonads (or the part of the female anatomy of your choice).

If so, it was the bike's fault. Good thing that Subaru wasn't a dump truck!

Phew.

People are being killed on the street by asshole motorists and NOTHING IS BEING DONE WHATSOEVER!
