[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My issue is bike lanes that are visually obstructed (eg it is behind a bus stop so not visible to cars) and so when a car is turning right they can't see the bike coming. If it is an e-bike it will get there too fast for the driver to see it and stop in time. [/quote] If a car can't see far enough to make sure that a turn is clear then the car shouldn't make the turn. Where did you learn to drive?[/quote]

That might be true.  But if you're riding your e-bike with your toddler in the seat, and you're hit by a car doing what they shouldn't be doing, you can still end up with a dead toddler.  [/quote]

I watch for turning cars when riding my bike. Toddlers die in cars every day. More than bikes by a huge margin so you are being irrational. [/quote]

You need to compare rates since bike riders are rare.
