No saying it’s good. Just saying that many places are perfectly comfortable making pedestrians contend with much more deadly conditions, but seemed to get a little hysterical when a bike is involved. Something to consider, in the UK, a pedestrian is killed once every year or two by bikes, and it’s front page news with public outrage. a pedestrian is killed once everyday, on average, by cars (it’s actual a little higher, but close enough), but it’s never news, and there’s never outrage. Pedestrian injuries and deaths by bikes are so low, government basically doesn’t really consider it worth the effort to collect the data. It’s far easier to derive bike caused pedestrian fatalities from counting news articles, than it is to use official stats, because the stats basically don’t exist.
