First, the comment refuted evidence based on data via personal anecdotes. Second the anecdote’s assumptions were flawed. Unless one believes most drivers are psychopaths, one would not expect drivers to consciously endanger bike riders (especially since a helmet is unlikely to provide any protection from being run over.)
- mint2 5y ago1) discarding individual data points because they disagree with a desired result is fraudulent science 2) Road rage and resentment against bikers is real. There many drivers that act as psychopaths and will yell and haze bikers. 3) had people read the study before downvoting they would realize the study itself state it was a hotly contested topic and was in fact a response to another paper claiming they were wrong. I don’t think someone asking if there is flaws to that study is someone that should be downvoted.
