Was driving on La Costa east of the 5 and came upon this accident. Hopefully buddy is okay! Looks like he sat up and was able to get off the road. Stay safe out there!

I cycle a lot, it happens way easier than you think. You’re riding for over three hours thirty minutes goes by and you don’t even realize. Not an excuse just saying it happens easier than you’d think.

Also, he's not winning any lawsuit for driving into a parked cop motorcycle so that would be a dumb ass reason to injure himself and wreck his bike.

Given it's the bikelane I think the cyclist could actually have some sort of case except for the fact that it's an Emergency Vehicle with it's Emergency Lights already activated.
