Just be sure to get hit by a rich person so you can sue and always make sure you have a camera rolling.

I got run over, broke my arm, got surgery, and still love bike commuting. I won’t let reckless drivers have the power to affect my lifestyle.

360 camera on my helmet now and live in a more bike friendly place.

I’m aware of this possibility. It’s just…the bike isn’t the problem. Two bikes crash, both fine. Two pedestrians crash, both fine. Two trains crash once in a double blue moon. It’s only cars. Just cars that keep resulting in these tragedies - THEY are the cause. Not the other, non-armored-tank modes.

My doctor said all the commuting will make me a great organ donor.

According to their study, cycling commuters had:

A 47% lower risk of dying from any cause. A 10% lower chance of ending up in the hospital for any reason.

So statistically, it’s safer than sitting on your ass all day, even including the risks.

Or, move to a place that allows you to have a bike friendly commute.

It’s a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don’t be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
