Although I have no desire to become the Two Wheels vs. Four Wheels blog, I can’t resist this news release just out from Vancouver police: (And video from Vancouver Sun here.)

Cyclist and Electric Concept Vehicle Collide
Vancouver – Vancouver Police are investigating a collision involving a cyclist and an electric concept vehicle that was participating in the Zero Emissions race near False Creek Friday morning. Shortly before 10:30 a.m., a cyclist collided with the side of an electric concept vehicle at Athletes Way and Manitoba Street. The injured 50 year old male cyclist had to be taken to hospital for treatment.
The VPD Collision Investigation Unit is handling the investigation and members have spoken with event organizers, the driver and a number of witnesses in an effort to determine what led up to the collision.
