You people won’t stop until folks are living in a bubble under gun point. There is always another low value crusade that most people don’t want to hear about just shoved in their faces.
False. In my city right on red kills people every year, but there has only been one bike that killed a pedestrian in 40 years and even that seemed like a weird fluke if you read about it
We should advocate for having dedicated biking lanes to reduce these kinds of accidents, and redesign intersections to create a buffer space between pedestrian and bicycle crossing areas.
While fatalities are rare to the point of non-existence, it’s certainly a fair concern that bicyclists have too much difference in speed and maneuverability from pedestrians, risking too many accidents/injuries. That’s why we separate them: bicycling is not allowed on sidewalks

Compelling argument. Counter-point: what the fuck are you talking about and how does it relate to people’s right not to be run over in the street?
Counter point to your counter point, bikes kill pedestrians as well. You going to ban those?
Exceedingly rarely, almost to the point of not happening. You know this is a braindead argument.

Just like cars killing people on right hand reds. It’s a very low occurring incident.

I guess you’ll just ignore the link I provided 🤷♂️ definitely feels more truthy your way
Yeah I should probably accept your link as reality instead of the facts that I know for sure
The link to actual data is less reliable than your feelings on what facts you know for sure?
… Yeah, you should be accepting statistical data over what you feel you might know
Truthiness. You just feel it’s right!

110% agree.
