Even if the infrastructure exists, I would still ride on the sidewalk and never on the road. I'd rather scrape someone's leg and deal with that instead of being potential road meat
Cars don't think to slow down when coming out of parking lots. Even with a crosswalk or light. They zoom up to the edge of the road.
Sidewalks are the only places I've been hit (once) and nearly hit several times.
My only collision was getting t-boned on the sidewalk in 91 or 92. I learned the right lesson from it and I don't do that dumb shit anymore, but I still have the injuries.
Cars don't think..they are in animate objects incapable of thought.
You're obviously unaware of Herbie.
You only feel safer. Cyclists are more likely to be injured and killed for each km of sidewalk as compared to each km of road.
Aight. Been 30 years never being hit on a sidewalk. Been hit on e in the road. My OWN stats prove otherwise.
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with an obviously bad faith argument. Maybe it's meant to be funny. I'll read it again in the morning and see what I think.
Still not funny.
