    As bike commuter who’s been run over and knows numerous people hit/killed by drivers, I stand by what I said. It’s not that I don’t want the other things, this is just something I’m deeply passionate about.

      I respect that (and am also very passionate about this topic too). I was nearly hooked just yesterday while in our new “protected bike lane” by some asswipe in an SUV and fortunately braked hard early because of a weird feeling I had about them when I glanced over. I was just loosely trying to stay on topic here. Stay safe friend.

        I feel like at the very least public transportation should be brought up in the conversations. I get why it doesn’t poll well as a lot of people just associate it with criminals and homeless people, or at least what people have expressed to me about it. But definitely stay safe on the road!
