I get the sense that NYC cyclists need to be careful before engaging the NYCPD. It sounds like their cops have a heavy tendency to be prejudiced against bikes. It seems pretty well documented that after a motorist's fault kills a bicyclist in a certain location, they tend to set up stings there against cyclists instead of motorists. -- - Frank Krygowski |

I suspect they would need to have the mortician prepaid, tell the minister to have a eulogy already written, and have the cemetery pre-dig the hole, before starting on a ride.

But Frank, if we can get the bicycles off the streets we will have eliminated 854 bicycle deaths (2018) a year. That is nearly 15 times the fatalities of the worse mass shooting in the history of the United States. And it happens every year! -- cheers, John B. |

Now, if you could get the private motor car off the streets, then you'd save over 32,000 deahts and over 2million injuries per year. That is nearly 15 times the fatalities of the worse mass shooting in the history of the United States. And it happens every year! You can do the maths. |

How else would the kids get to school? You can't possibly expect them to walk, could you? You do understand, I hope, that nearly every state has a law regarding cruelty to children which usually contains definitions similar to that of Wyoming, "inflicting or causing of physical or mental injury". That is nearly 15 times the fatalities of the worse mass shooting in the history of the United States. And it happens every year! You can do the maths. -- cheers, John B. |

That is nearly 15 times the fatalities of the worse mass shooting in the history of the United States. And it happens every year! -- John B. https://www.businessinsider.com/how-...is-year-2018-2 According to Business Insider (why is a business website/magazine writing about mass shootings?) there were 340 mass shootings and 373 deaths from said shootings in 2018 in the USA. The definition of mass shooting is not exactly settled. Roughly its 4 or more people killed or wounded at about the same time in about the same location. Roughly. Everyone defines it differently. Note, a mass shooting does not mean anyone has to die. Shot and injured is good enough. Bicycle deaths are about 2.5 times more than mass shooting fatalities. Drunk driving deaths are probably 250 times mass shooting deaths. Mass shootings always get lots of attention. But they are really pathetic when it comes to killing people. Cigarettes were/are killing ten or a hundred times more people. Suicides are the number one use of guns for killing people every year. But that is a good use for guns I guess. |
