Why? Are they more frequent? Anyway, how frequent it is, is irrelevant. Cyclists can and do cause fatalities (sometimes their own). To mitigate this they should follow the rules.
There are rules of the road for everyone's safety. I obey them when I walk, bike and drive. If we're going to go Stasi on drivers, let's go Stasi on everyone.
- Zigurd 11y ago> If we're going to go Stasi on drivers, let's go Stasi on everyone. That is, on the face of it, a ridiculous position. Cars, and only cars, are what matters in road safety. Everything else is less important than obscure threats like falling air conditioners. What you are really saying is "Lets give cops the tools to harass cyclists" Fuck that. You're driving a deadly tool. If you kill someone with it, it should ruin your life. If you don't like that, wait until cars can be made safe for everyone around them.
- irixusr 11y ago"Cars, and only cars, are what matters in road safety." If you believe that, you don't have a toddler. I don't either (yet), but I do remember running around the streets of BsAs like an idiot with my freaked out mother screaming, chasing after me as I dodged, ironically enough, an ambulance. Cars matter the most. Agreed. But let's not exaggerate, eh?
