Just say no to winter cycling? baseless solution. Serge Venne – 45, was taken down by an errant flatbed this winter in La Tuque. The accident as reported:
when it swerved back to regain the lane one of the hooks on the truck snagged the cyclist and pulled him under the truck’s wheels, according to Constable Pierre Rivard of the Sûreté du Québec.
The response from the city officials is as feeble as my grandmother…
City officials in La Tuque will be urging police to enforce a little-known municipal bylaw that forbids cycling on icy or snowy streets after a cyclist was run over by a truck and killed there on Tuesday evening last week.

Another biker down and the best the paper pushers can do is look to 1988 as a sound year for cycling law. Piss on that. I bet Serge is pretty stoked he went down for that nothing.
Thanks to MS for the dig.
