I'll support this comment from a pedestrian, to whom bicycles present some nontrivial danger. Drivers, however, choose to The Other themselves via driving increasingly larger masses of steel, and IME at least seem to be driving ever more incautiously over time in ways that have consequences further down the weight classes. Almost got creased today, even, crossing a quiet suburban street because somebody blew through a four-way stop without looking dead ahead of them. It's supposed to be a 25mph zone. "They're talking mess at the poor benighted car havers" isn't going to fly. (Signed, a car haver who walks ~five miles a day; you are all full of sin.)
