[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Crimes happen in broad daylight too. Most burglaries happen in my (very nice) neighborhood on weekdays around 3pm. Armed robberies are happening midday in downtown Bethesda too. Take precautions but live your life. [/quote] I think the point is that everyone is going to have different risk tolerance and it’s fine for people to take precautions that are appropriate for their risk tolerance. For some reason, the idea is not controversial that the government should provide infrastructure to help cyclists feel safer to encourage more people to cycle. But somehow individuals who are feel unsafe due to crime and don’t go out as a result are “insane”, when you are at much higher risk of getting murdered or carjacked than dying in a cycling accident.
