Cyclists are the worst where I live, they have zero respect for pedestrians. The city spent millions on bike lanes and these fucks will zip past you and your toddlers on the sidewalk, they never wear helmets, they donβt know any road laws, anyways this would be a nightmare in my city
this is exactly anti-bicylce-propaganda. There are by far more deadly accidents involving cars and trucks than involving bikes and pedestrians. You are afraid of the wrong thing. Also you are describing the results of car focused infrastructure, that hasn't been effectively planned for cyclists nor pedestrians. The dutch people are not much different than you or me, they just made the infrastructure right and assimilated it over the years. The close calls you are describing look harmless in the video, when you realize that even if there were an accident, not much would happen. But we still get many car-related deaths. Do you see what i mean?
Which city are you in and what does the car infrastructure look like in the street you are describing?
Telling people that their personal experiences are propaganda is the fastest way to make them hate your cause even more
Some people put those fears into your head to create a divide between us. They want you to see close calls with cyclists and be mad about it. So that you don't see this:
If you hate my cause because i called out that your feelings are fueled by propaganda, the die was loaded from the start. Propaganda uses hate. I bet you are not telling me the city you are describing because it is a car infested hell with one ineffective bike lane.
