My second major
bike accident (first was being doored) was getting rear ended by a minivan. She treated me like someone in a vehicle, not a, you know, bike. There’s a real disconnect for some people driving a multi-thousand-pound steel piece of equipment where they project their sense of safety on fleshy human bodies at all times.
- unixhero 5y agoDon't bike in traffic, just dont. It is annoying.
- kody 5y agoSo where do you suggest cyclists bike?
- oefrha 5y agoI would say the sad answer is don’t. Biking in these three feet wide unseparated American bike lanes on 30mph and up (i.e. 35-40mph and up in reality) roads really feels like tempting fate.
- kody 5y agoI don’t bike anymore, but I don’t accept that answer. If someone can be pulled over for speeding, talking on their phone, or any other reason, they should be pulled over for e.g. tailgating a cyclist. There’s no reason why that shouldn’t be the case. But I don’t have skin in the game right now.
