Step-daughter of a friend of ours saw the 11-yr old kid get killed in Rockland, by someone driving a school bus, while they were riding their bike. What the fuck…
I’ve said it a bunch of times but I completely changed the route we take to the kids school which is only 1.2 kms away. We take a ~ 2 km route to avoid the utter mayhem that takes over people during drop offs and pick ups, esp school bus and transport vans #ottawa#ottbike#biketooter#onpoli
@casseagull I do love my heart beating from movement and not getting my heart rate up because someone nearly fucking killing us becayse they can’t wait or be slow for 30 secs… the e-bikes make it easy so jokes on them?!!! The kid is strong enough to bike the long way thankfully which involves the MUP south of Mud Lake which we can’t use when covered in ice but will have to figure out a different route come next December.
@grivettcarnac It is so infuriating that the people who drive students to school will tell you they have to because cycling is "too dangerous" as they simultaneously drive recklessly and illegallly.

I wanted to know more about this crash, so googled "Rockland bus accident child killed". Google returned a story from February from Rockland County, NY noting the SECOND local death of a child hit by a school bus this year.
