I saw no victim-blaming in the original posters message. Please point it
out, if you can.

Then you are quite blind. The OP clearly thinks the cyclists were the
cause of their own demise by daring to venture out on to the roads...

"Those who advocate against separate
paths and want to "seize a share of the road" from motorists, might
contemplate how freezing weather
changes the wisdom of this."

In the case of the UK, cyclists have a *right* to be on the roads,
motorists do not. When we are motoring we do so by way of a licence, which
is right & proper as it is when we are motoring we present the most danger
to other roads users. Do not blame the victims of bad motoring. It's this
insidious blaming of victims... after all, if they'd been sensible enough
to be off the roads away from those dangerous motor vehicles. Get rid of
the danger - bad motoring, do not blame the victims who were doing
*nothing wrong*. It's just like the twunts who blame women for getting
raped because they go out at night. It is wrong, distasteful and should be
stamped on every time it used to blame victims.

Women who go out at night should be with a male escort. Also, women should
dress conservatively if they do not want to be raped. And most importantly
of all, a dating couple should always be chaperoned by a prudish elderly
person, such as myself, who will not permit any hanky panky. If everyone
followed these few simple rules, there would be far fewer rapes in the land
and Helen would be a far happier person.
