Of course you can’t predict the future, and neither can motorists. What you can do is ride at a speed reasonably slow enough that you can react to people, and you can ride on the side of the pathway further from the doorways.

And like I said already, a bike on person accident at slow speed is favorable to risking my own life or life-changing injury by riding in the street.

If you’re trying to change my mind, stop trying. For anyone reading this, petition your local government to build safe bike lanes with solid barriers and we won’t have to have this argument.

so the only case these apply are when the cyclist isn’t paying attention to their surroundings… which is the real reason it’s dangerous, and when you eliminate that, I would rather have bikes passing next to people than cars passing next to bikes, because the latter is actually deadly when someone does make a mistake

Baseless statement, elaborate

It’s not more dangerous for pedestrians because I am aware and respectful of them.

So tell me exactly how it’s more dangerous for me to be on a further-removed pathway, protected by a curb and other objects like light posts.

And?

True that many countries may find themselves lacking to the USA. Americans meanwhile don’t compare themselves to anybody, completely ignoring all the countries which are leaps and bounds ahead of us in terms of social justice & public welfare.

State should not have the right to pick and choose like that. Textbook way of taking away people’s liberty.

Go outside dude. “America bad” is not based on reddit, there are millions of citizens out there who have real issues with the way our country is run, real activist groups doing protests and trying to spread awareness.

All you have to do is open your mind to be able to see these problems (instead of downplaying issues like mass murder) and listen to the people who feel they’ve been disadvantaged

And America can’t be bothered to build safe bike lanes. I refuse to ride my bike on the road. Anyone who doesn’t like me riding on the sidewalk can fuck off

I don’t mean to say all asian people look the same, my statement was overly simple. I can usually tell people of different ethnicities from eachother but it seems chinese people look more similar to other chinese people, japanese people look very similar to eachother, so on. Not suggesting that the entire continent looks the same, and of course there is genetic diversity, but my observation has been that diversity shows less visually among their more homogenous groups/regions

im gonna wait at least several months until it goes on sale. and that way all the good mods will have already been developed

don’t buy launch day, and don’t pay full price, wait for reviews

its impossible asians just look the same

(not true im exaggerating but i definitely feel like there is a lot more genetic homogeneity and they just have more similar features)

its gonna be so completely average

Meanwhile desantis is somehow making Florida’s education even worse

Reversing literally isn’t harder than driving forward.

Landing a plane is way harder than taking off. Your analogy is irrelevant and incorrect

The southern states still are the worst and I assume will continue to be the worst due to conservatism

School has always let kids do proper research. Except now Florida is banning that and making kids watch oversimplified youtube videos full of logical fallacies instead of using proper lessons.

Actually landing a plane is a lot harder than reversing a car even if you’re skilled at it. Not sure what you’re trying to prove, this is a dumb argument

Because they fail to provide reliable data or a better alternative

Reversing isn’t any harder if you are familiar with the skill of reversing. That’s what I am saying.

The difficulty is exactly the same and the visibility is much better when leaving the space. Reversing isn’t any harder than driving forwards, especially if you have a backup camera, many people are just unskilled or have low confidence
