Totally the motorcyclist's fault.

Lotta good "protected by law" did the cyclists. Not trying to dis anyone, but the idea that a law, written on paper should "protect" anyone is insane. Laws can only provide a penalty after the fact or a disincentive to commit an act. A law can do nothing to prevent a person from willfully violating it.

I still can't figure out why the biker plowed into them, he didn't seem to be going so fast as to not be able to avoid them. Must've just been target fixation for sure.
