From the article - “The agency said Rapp and a fellow bicyclist were riding on a local road when Medina passed them in his car, stopped, and drove his vehicle in reverse. Medina then hit Rapp, and she was pronounced dead after emergency responders brought her to a hospital.”
Situational. Liberal areas tend to be better… but even then in my local very blue state we’ve got a trial coming up for a guy who was speeding and hit and killed a bicyclist.
Yeah, I’m not sure I’d associate cycling quality with a red/blue split. Places like Utah and Idaho are deep red and are practically paradise for cycling. Eastern Washington, where I used to ride a lot when I lived in Seattle, was similarly red yet great for cycling.
Left leaning places are typically more willing to spend money on cycling infrastructure, though, so that’s something.
