    Bikers really need their own infrastructure that’s kept entirely apart from where cars are. Bikes and cars sharing the same road is terrifyingly unsafe for both.

      “unsafe for both”? What is the bike going to do to the car? Scratch the paint? Get blood on the tires?

      That said, I agree that separated bike infrastructure saves lives and encourages biking by making people feel safer.

        Easy enough to imagine a driver (understandably) swerving to avoid killing a cyclist and losing control of the car

          Not to mention the psychological effects if an accident does happen… ‘Unsafe’ doesn’t have to only mean physical injury or death…
