This would happen on Edinburgh; no bike lanes, a ton of traffic, and unmaintained. It feels like a battle everytime I ride down it!
Despite this it was dark, the guy was probably going 70+ down Wellington, and no helmet...wear a helmet kids!

wowza, i actually live right at that intersection and was wondering why it was lit up like a crime scene the other night...
edinburgh is a scary road south of stone road, always feel like its a death wish waiting to happen, 50% of the time i take the sidewalk just for that reason.

There were at least 3 pedestrians and commuters struck on Monday night. With the rain and glare, it was almost impossible to see the road lines, or anyone not wearing reflective gear.
All I have to say about this is if you're out in conditions like this, wear a helmet, make yourself as visible as possible, or use alternative transportation.
Also, in that kind of situation, you're taking your life into your hands by riding through crosswalks from the sidewalk and not taking extra care observing other vehicles.
