You must live in Iowa, where looking a cyclist at worst, warrants a fund because it is "accidental". We have a major bike ride across the state from West to East every year, called RAGBRAI along a different route. And seemingly every year, at least one cyclist is killed. Rarely is anyone charged with a crime. Tragic

What does your first sentence mean? I can't tell if it's a typo or regional phrase I am not familiar with.

i think it means: killing a cyclist is accidental, and warrants a fund only (whatever that is :-)

I stopped biking into work because of the danger of getting hit. It's only about 7 miles for me, but on about a daily basis I would almost get hit. Paths that heavily interact with automobiles are not safe at all. Cars turning out/in crossing my path and stoplight intersections were a constant threat.
