See? Bicyclists are willfully blind to the risks they are running. I find it amazing people put their children on bikes and ride through the city. So incredibly dangerous. [/quote]

If you think it's so dangerous, then you must be extra supportive of designing transportation infrastructure that is safe not just for adults on bicycles, but also for children on bicycles. I couldn't agree with you more.[/quote]

[b]Unfortunately, that sort of infrastructure doesn't exist. [/b]I'd be more in favor of bicyclists realistically confronting the risks they are running.

Car accidents are a leading cause of death, especially among people under the age of 40. And people in cars have the benefit of airbags and seatbelts and two tons of steel around them. What do bicyclists have? Cheap little helmets and some worthless paint on the street. [/quote]

Yes, it does[/b].[/quote]

Wow. compelling argument. [/quote]

It's like having a compelling argument that the sun rises in the east. The fact is that transportation infrastructure that is safe not just for adults on bicycles, but also for children on bicycles, exists.[/quote]

Ok, So, to summarize:

Argument #1: Nuh uh

Argument #2: It's not worth my time to make the argument.

You're not really selling your ideas here very well. Facts and examples work better. [/quote]
