Right. But proportionately, that distance becomes much greater than the size of the vehicles themselves very quickly as speed increases, which makes the comparison based on vehicle size that we see in the photo almost entirely irrelevant in practice.
- enoch_r 7y agoYour claim: > a bike plus adequate space around it is only a bit smaller than a car with adequate space around it. Here is an example photo from a recent organized bike ride in my city: https://images.app.goo.gl/S1Nh8d7zqfSEzqmH7 https://images.app.goo.gl/S1Nh8d7zqfSEzqmH7 Here is another: https://images.app.goo.gl/6hh7NAMtEFPZZyKA9 https://images.app.goo.gl/6hh7NAMtEFPZZyKA9 It's quite hard for me to square these images (not to mention my own experiences riding bikes) with your assertion.
- Silhouette 7y agoBut everyday cycling around a city doesn't look anything like an organised mass bike ride. Not everyone is an experienced cyclist. There isn't a predetermined route and there are no marshals to direct the riders around it. Different riders will be going in all sorts of different directions. The roads probably won't be cleared of other traffic. Junctions and other traffic controls will be operating normally.
