A year and a half ago, Adam Krawesky captured a conflict on camera<\/a> (above photo series) between a motorist and a cyclist, and most Spacing Wire readers will remember the public outcry<\/a> from that incident (strange how the recent fight between a driver and cyclist, which was caught on video<\/a>, didn’t produce nearly as much of an uproar).\u00a0 The above photos were used recently by LA Curbed to accompany a post<\/a> about a cyclist being side-swiped by a bus while the driver was talking on a cell phone. I spent a week in Los Angeles last year and rarely saw a cyclist, so I found it interesting to read the observations<\/a> on the cyclist vs. driver relationship in LA (the discussion goes a little awry at times).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
