On my way to Ulpan this morning, I looked away for a second, and when I looked forward again, I saw two people in a half roll with a bicycle about to land on the sidewalk about 50 feet in front of me. The biker had come up behind the pedestrian woman and must have misjudged his clearance sending her in a spin to the ground. There's nothing she could have done to avoid it.
Two people, who were already beyond the accident when it occurred, heard the crash and turned around to come back to help. The biker had one of those, "I'm a real dunce" smiles on his face as he tried to check on her, and pick his bike up. As I passed (I didn't stop because there were already 3 people trying to help them at this point), she was holding her leg and arm. It didn't look like she was going to be walking away from that one.
Israel certainly doesn't have a monopoly on poor city planning, but it was still sad to see.
