some people drive motorcycles. what's with this obsession with safety ?
- andrewflnr 3y agoMotorcyclists get killed by motorists kind of a lot. Once we've conquered the basic hurdles of cornering and not going too fast, cars are our biggest threat. And we're already on the relatively risk-tolerant side of things.
- notnmeyer 3y agoyes and when people on motorcycles get into accidents at 50 or 60 mph the results are often horrific. ...that's kind of the point you're replying too. they're afraid of being annihilated by much larger vehicles.
- dieselgate 3y agoI can see both sides but am biased towards your point - if it's called an "e-bike" it'll be viewed differently than a "motorcycle"
- sidlls 3y agoJudging by the way motorcyclists in the bay area drive, "obsession with safety" is about the last thing I'd accuse them of. They're some of the worst offenders for weaving and doing dangerous stuff in crowded traffic conditions.
