I’ve been driving for a really long time. I’ve never come close to hitting a building. I don’t understand how this happens so often, and no one seems to think it’s a huge hint that our transportation system is defective.

@bikepedantic all the buildings you’ve been near have been wearing high-viz
@bikepedantic At this point if you have parking in front of your business and don’t have bollards to protect the ppl inside you are negligent. Morally at least, possibly legally too.
It’s not a new phenomenon. Saw my first one in 1991…
@bikepedantic Also, I have never mistaken the accelerator for the brake on a bicycle, even when using a coaster brake.
