That works the other way, too. Bicycle riders frequently treat pedestrians just as badly as cars treat them, so I don't see anyone with the high ground here.

I don't much care to ride a bike, but I love to walk everywhere, and I have to tell you that getting hit by a bike hurts. I love to see them get their own lane.
- andrewem 4y agoGetting hit by a bike hurts. Getting hit by a car or truck kills. This is the crucial distinction which one must disregard in order to argue such equivalences.
- john_the_writer 4y agoTotally.. I don't honestly know one person who's been hit by a bike. Not counting people opening doors without looking.
- taeric 4y agoCertainly there are bad bikers, too. Probably bad joggers. To a large extent, it is the same in all cases. The heavier item has more responsibility to pay attention in mixed use areas. The really dangerous vehicles should be separated and put in dedicated lanes.
