I would hazard that the bad drivers kill more people than the bad cyclists you speak of.


Don’t quote me on this but the last time I checked it was roughly…

~600 deaths 35,000 hospitalisation due to car accidents.

~85 deaths 13,000 hospitalisation due to cycling accidents.

But in any case when walking in the city I feel safe walking with cars. But I don’t feel safe with cyclists. They rush through red lights. Rush through intersections while people are crossing. I’ve witnessed accidents occur due to cyclists not following the laws. If they followed the laws and slowed down. Stopped and gave way like they are meant to. I wouldn’t have an issue.
