However, it pays substantially less for such folks as it does for the folks such folks are angry about.
Bicycle related injuries are not what any insurance company is worried about, while obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and motor vehicle related injuries actually really are the issues that keep raising the cost of your insurance - you just don't see it that way, because you don't want to take responsibility for the costs your lifestyle imposes on the society.
I'm dreadfully sorry if this has come out as addressed to an individual - speaking epidemiologically, this is absolutely about all of us, collectively. I would never recommend anyone to not wear a helmet, but I would rather see their choice of transport be the bicycle as often as possible, and mandatory wearing of helmet will not help that.
- JoeAltmaier 13y agoSorry I got lost in all the prepositions and articles. To be clear, I happen to be a bicyle-rider, who likes to take week-long 500 mile vacations on a variety of human-powered cycles. No obesity here, nor cardiovascular issues. So I'm definitely paying for others' problems of whatever kind.
- jessaustin 13y agoYour quest for personal perfection, young grasshopper, will not be complete until you accept that others have different preferences, which are just as valid for them as your lycra-clad Lanciness is for you.
- JoeAltmaier 13y agoAgreed. But I have a hard time believing their priorities include dying young, in a grotesquely deformed body. I think they are plain lazy.
- jessaustin 13y agoAgain with the judgment! While it may be for you, for most people cycling is not an extreme activity. At least, not to the same extent as climbing a ladder or eating a hot dog (two "safe" activities that are actually more dangerous than cycling).
