[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The idea of bicycle insurance is just so dumb.  Do you even understand risk profiles?  The probability of doing any meaningful damage is... close to nothing.  Look at how much damage car drivers do.  Running into other cars, people, inanimate objects, etc.  And since you’re driving ever more aggressive large objects, the amount of damage that you do to things keeps growing.  That is why you need insurance and people on bikes don’t.[/quote]

I was a witness to an accident where a bicycle hit a pedestrian (bike didn't stop) and the pedestrian's collarbone was broken.  The bicyclist left before the police and ambulance arrived. The victim was a student without health insurance and had to drop out of college due to the cost of her medical treatment.  [/quote]

Now do hammers.  Maybe we should register those and have plates on then.[/quote]

If you can't seem to keep from hitting innocent people with your hammer, then yes [/quote]
