An Edmonton man has a warning for cyclists after he crashed his bicycle into a vehicle and received a massive bill in the mail from an insurance company.
Rylan Kafara was cycling in the city’s northeast in September 2013 when he pulled up to a red light. He says another cyclist cut across the road and distracted him. Kafara ended up hitting an SUV. Kafara’s injuries kept him off his feet for months.
