There’s a presumption in the mainstream transpo field (and elsewhere of course) that people assume a level of unalterable risk when they choose to ride a bicycle, and I think that’s bullshit.
Anyway, join our webinar tomorrow at 1PM ET, where we talk about how separated bike lanes are safer (duh), and how we should maybe do more of them on higher-speed roads. https://unc.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_dvIhGOxzSrGZ_Om1IMgxuQ#/registration
@bikepedantic "My biking risk would be greatly reduced if you segregated those Wheeled Death Boxes away from people and the places people go so they can't threaten bicyclists or pedestrians"
@bikepedantic Is this based on the study that included Cambridge?
@itamarst the first part is, yes. Won't be going too deep into methods, etc, we're planning a longer one this summer when the full report posts
We can absolutely eliminate the risk, we know how, we mostly choose not to, and let's at least be honest about that.
