        There’s going to be some psychopaths no matter what (I have a buddy with permanent injuries from an intentional hit-and-run on his bike) but the bigger problems there are poorly designed roads, improper bike lanes, and lack of enforcement for distracted driving. Empathy doesn’t resolve infrastructure failures.

        If people did better in terms of voting, we’d have better designed cities and less drivers. Stop blaming the victims you contentious prick. Bikes also cost money. Something that a lot of people in the south do not have.

          Every day in Chicago I see hundreds of people needlessly driving when we have the infrastructure. It’s an individuals problem too.

          Bikes are dirt cheap. Lol. Would easily pay for itself in saved gas money from the stupid trucks southern people drive
