I'd like to point out one other thing: my safety, as a pedestrian, is more often put at risk by cyclists than motorists. I'm talking number of incidents here. I'll agree that were I to be hit by a car I'd likely be more seriously injured than by a bike, but my point is about the numbers.
The route I walk is heavily trafficked by cars and bikes, so the comparison is a fair one.
- snowwrestler 12y agoYou probably don't know how often your safety is put at risk by cars because you aren't aware of what is going on inside the cars. There are accidents every year in which distracted drivers, or those reacting to them, encroach upon pedestrian areas like sidewalks or crosswalks.
