I likewise pray the gentleman on the bike doesn't die.  And I suspect he may have decided to go facing traffic, illegal or no, because he realized, as do most bicyclists and motor-cyclists, that most automobile drivers simply don't see THEM.  He may have decided he would be safer seeing the oncoming traffic.  Just speculation--but since I was a kid we were told to walk facing traffic so we could see approaching vehicles.  It didn't protect him from an impaired driver, however, and I doubt it would have had he been going with the traffic.

The impaired driver was at fault.  I have no sympathy for such selfish, irresponsible idiots.  My cousin, a CHP officer, was smeared all over the Highway by a drunk driver.  He had three kids.  Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi Raji'uun--to God we belong, and to Him we return.
