Land Rovers do not drive on sidewalks, for a start.

- paulddraper 10y agoBit of a strawman, since bicycles should drive in their own lanes.
- rimantas 10y ago"should" is the key word here.
- nickkell 10y agoHave you never seen a car mount the pavement in order to get around a blocking vehicle? Or even to park, straddling the pavement and the road?
- rimantas 10y agoTo park, not to drive. And the speed in this case is 2km/h instead of bicyclist doing 20 among pedestrians.
- CalRobert 10y agoBicycles and Land Rovers are both operated on the street. Humans are on the street as well, with varying degrees of protection. I often use the street while mounted on a bicycle. If my skull is crushed by a Land Rover's tire that will be a markedly different experience from my skull being hit by a bicycle tire. Please elaborate; I don't really understand what you mean.
- sokoloff 10y agoGP's point was that bicycles are fairly often operated on sidewalks. Percentage-wise, way more frequently than cars/trucks are operated on sidewalks.
- CalRobert 10y agoGP's point was asinine as well. They have failed to address the core issue - the difference between operating a two+ tonne metal box and a 15 kilo bicycle, and how getting hit by either of those varies.
