Posted by Stephen Bauman on Wed Jun 9 08:28:16 2021, in response to Re: Signal priority in NYC, posted by BrooklynBus on Tue Jun 8 15:13:01 2021. A cyclist was killed this morning in Williamsburg. They showed the video and there was a cyclist who just swerved...Link?...Believe it was on News12 Brooklyn...I saw it on TV...Maybe it takes a day for them to update their website.News 12 Brooklyn's website still has no record of any cyclist fatality (or injury). None of the other websites have any record of such an incident. This is unusual because a cyclist fatality usually rates a mention. Are you sure this wasn't an apocryphal incident you are using to illustrate your point? But as I said, we need better education. I'm not one to overestimate the value of education. I would suggest that what's taught bear some semblance to reality. 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. That's 1 opinion out of 50,000 delivery cyclists in NYC. you can study the statistics You are not, if you believe you can draw a meaningful conclusion from a single sample out of 50,000. |
