    yes, except for the collision thing.

    in my city they are as deadly as motorbikes.

    getting bumped by a car will get you just as fucked up.

      But see, the issue is still the cars. Bicycle v bicycle or bicycle v pedestrian is almost never catastophic

        it is, but that’s a moot point since we have to share the road with them anyway. they are even making them bigger and less safe.

          Nah nah nah. They have to share the road with us. If a car hits a pedestrian, they are at fault unless it is provably a scam. Same should go for bikes. Its that car centric thinking that got us here.

      Getting hit by a car will fuck you up way more than a motorbike going the same speed, they’re lighter, more likely to hit indirectly.
