Interesting. As a cyclist, personally I don't like it when I am hit by a car

My neighbor is a city traffic engineer. I told him we need real protected bike lanes but he says drivers don’t like it when they hit concrete barriers and damage their cars so cyclists are left with plastic sticks and paint for protection. mass.streetsblog.org/2021/01/26/b...

As a driver, I find that it’s my responsibility not to hit objects or people with my car. If you’re driving at or below the speed limit, check your blind spots, and are careful, then it almost never happens. Anyone against protected bike lanes is an idiot.

i love it, can't get enough. planning to go out and get smacked into oblivion after work today, with any luck it'll happen twice

Oof, just saw a flattened cone yesterday :(((

Back when I was 19 I got clipped by a landscape trailer. I got relatively lucky but have a quarter sized dent in the lower left part of my leg. The guy thought about pushing charges. I was living with my grandmother at the time. I was on crutches for about a week.

I mean, you would hope drivers wouldn’t like that either but like, you never know.
