It literally took me less than a minute. The video is in the article. You can find other incidents if you bother to look.

As to the reply to this: if you are slowly and carefully crushed under the wheels of a truck. It doesn’t matter how slowly and carefully it happens. Having driven vehicles this big I can promise you that at the point the driver made contact he could no longer see the cyclist that he knew was in front of him. If the cyclist had tripped he would have only known about it when he felt the bump under his tires.

Regardless using a 10 ton machine to move people you disagree with is no way to go through life.

You post two links to the same incident in *Vancouver*? Not Ottawa? Not Windsor? Not Coutts, AB?

And then turn and castigate the person you are replying to with a dismissive "...if you bother to look."

I chose Vancouver because it is the city closest to me.

Besides, what’s wrong with Vancouver?

He asked for proof. I provided validated proof from different sources with undeniable video showing exactly what he was castigating me about.

'Ram' implies some degree of speed. That truck very slowly and carefully pushed the cyclist, who was blocking traffic, aside, without injuring them.
