GTFO with your antibike propaganda.
I don't think it's anti-bike at all. Biking is dangerous in a large number of countries but largely due to cars and inadequate infrastructure protecting bicyclists
That's simply not true in the big picture. Biking is a net benefit virtually everywhere; the risks are more than offset by the benefits to your lifespan.
I mean I agree but you can't say riding on something like this "bike route" in Ottawa, Canada isn't a death wish
Like, it's because of cars that its dangerous. I recognise that a lot of countries have much better infrastructure that makes it much safer but our infrastructure is shit. I say that as someone who does bike as a means of transport often
I love biking! Hence the low desire to die. I feel so much better all day after biking.
I am also biking in Kansas City Missouri though where drivers will directly threaten to kill me.
