I tried searching for cyclist death on their website, and the top story that came up was about George Floyd, totally irrelevant.Maybe it takes a day for them to update their website. But as I said, we need better education. Too many cyclists, drivers, and pedestrians don't know the first thing about safety. Better education would go a long way in reducing fatalities. The answer isn't always slower speeds and more bike lanes, specially when many cyclists refuse to even use the bicycle lanes. I had a discussion a few weeks ago on a chat with a delivery cyclist who said he never uses bike lanes because they are too slow for him. The best way for him to get places is by hanging on to a truck or a bus. This is the mentality out there. I told him he was playing with fire. So you can study the statistics all you want and keep showing that slower speeds mean fewer deaths and ignore everything else and the need for people to get where they are going in a reasonable amount of time. |
