In all fairness, it is the most dangerous trail crossing I've ever seen. They have an over traffic bridge on one side of the preserve, but this side has six lanes of traffic and a highway interchange. People ignore the lights getting off the highway at a constant. Most aren't even looking for pedestrians. Even though the biker looked to have right-of-way IMO, its a dangerous gamble to blindly accept it and barrel through.
