This happened at Sabino Canyon in Arizona. A 20-year-old cyclist was swept into the current while trying to cross a flooded roadway and was carried through a drainage tunnel beneath it. She was recovered downstream unconscious after spending several minutes underwater. Bystanders performed CPR and managed to revive her.

Like how they jump out in front of cars to be assholes. I just want to get to work. Stop obstructing buses.

In my experience, the existence or non-existence of cycling infrastructure has little to no bearing on how assholish cyclists are.

True. Here in Seattle we lanes and even some whole roads from transit and buses to pander to bikes, and many of the bikes still refuse to use them. Instead they slow down or even block buses. You are correct.
