5th avenue near Rockefeller Center in Manhattan.

Looks like attempted murder to me.

For wider exposure shouldn't it be posted in Latest Breaking News?
I'm just curious.

1) It is not national news that a bicyclist got hit by a car. Okay, if Joe Biden were the bicyclist, then it would be national news.
2) The incident happened on January 30. That's too old for LBN.
3) I consider bicycles sort of public transportation, in that they are an alternative to a private automobile.
4) It is not my intent to garner wider exposure. I want narrow exposure, so I try to put my posts in the most appropriate forum.

HTH. Thanks for asking. Welcome to DU.
