| This article neatly summarizes evidence relevant to many discussions had on this forum about bike lanes, traffic calming, and vehicular size and speed: https://www.harvardmagazine.com/2025/03/harvard-safer-roads-pedestrians-cyclists |
| Thanks for posting. It is interesting. |
| If the bike and ped haters could read, I'm sure they'd be very upset to have their priors completely destroyed. |
| Bicyclists do so many incredibly dangerous things it's amazing more aren't killed. |
They are also largely unnecessary on the roads. At least in this urban area. |
Huh? |
Funny. That’s how I feel about drivers after watching the complete insanity on full display on DC streets day in, day out. |
| it's time to lock this stupid fkng thread. we dont need another one of these. bike threads should be banned. |
You should be banned. |
| We installed cameras in front, both sides and back in all our cars so when the bikes run a red light we have proof. |
Too bad for you nobody gives a fvkk. Drivers install cameras on their cars because cyclists annoy them. Cyclists wear cameras while riding because drivers will kill them...and then lie to the police...who will take their side. |

I guess if all bikes were banned from the road, cars would only kill 39,000 people a year? Ban bikes and save a thousand lives!
Ban pedestrians too, and we can probably save another thousand. Then everyone can ride around in a Bradley IFV and no more crash deaths! Where is my consulting fee? |
This is a great idea |
