False. In my city right on red kills people every year, but there has only been one bike that killed a pedestrian in 40 years and even that seemed like a weird fluke if you read about it
No you right wing troll I walk around my city and see white bikes which symbolize people killed by morons like you, new ones all the time. I see the articles about who they were as people. And I’ve also read about the only person killed since the 80s by a bike. She was an elderly woman.
No one gives a single fuck about your efforts to make sure the world stays terrible. Leave Lemmy.
We should advocate for having dedicated biking lanes to reduce these kinds of accidents, and redesign intersections to create a buffer space between pedestrian and bicycle crossing areas.
While fatalities are rare to the point of non-existence, it’s certainly a fair concern that bicyclists have too much difference in speed and maneuverability from pedestrians, risking too many accidents/injuries. That’s why we separate them: bicycling is not allowed on sidewalks
Counter point to your counter point, bikes kill pedestrians as well. You going to ban those?
Exceedingly rarely, almost to the point of not happening. You know this is a braindead argument.

Just like cars killing people on right hand reds. It’s a very low occurring incident.

I guess you’ll just ignore the link I provided 🤷♂️ definitely feels more truthy your way
Yeah I should probably accept your link as reality instead of the facts that I know for sure
The link to actual data is less reliable than your feelings on what facts you know for sure?
… Yeah, you should be accepting statistical data over what you feel you might know
You also a right wing troll?
What a stupid response. Do you think right wing dipshits use statistical facts?
You sure youre not the right wing troll?
Truthiness. You just feel it’s right!

Random user who shares their unverifiable anecdotes or actual research. Tough choice.

110% agree.
