2-3 seems surprisingly high to me, considering the small mass and low speed of most cyclists. Can you describe the most common classes of such accidents?
I realise how odd it sounds weird to ask about 2-3 when car drivers cause a four-digit number.
- atatatat 5y agoGo get hit by a bicycle at 10+ MPH and see how many times you're left disabled.
- Arnt 5y agoWell, a bicycle plus rider is about 100kg, which is a tenth of an old-fashioned car or closer to a twentieth of a SUV, so that should correspond roughly to getting hit by a car at about 1MPH. I'm not awfully worried about cars moving at 1MPH, and correspondingly unworried about bicycles. You may disagree. Do you happen to drive a car? At 1MPH, or faster?
