- JackFr 3y ago1) I certainly don’t want to die. I also simply don’t want to get hit. 2) Bicycle/pedestrian are under reported. 3) I am specifically referring to my experience in Manhattan. In large portions of Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx I think my attitude would be different. (Also thanks for the link - poking around the DOT site they have some great information. Surprised to see how many pedestrian fatalities involved alcohol — on the part of the pedestrian!)
- QuercusMax 3y agoAre you saying bicycle/pedestrian deaths are under-reported? I find that very hard to believe.
