    To be fair most cyclists in major cities have a death wish. I don’t have another way to describe wearing all black in winter with no lights driving against traffic in a car lane (where there is also a dedicated, separated bike lane), and ignoring all stop signs and traffic signals. It’s a death wish.

    Yes it’s mostly doordash et al, but just because doordash doesn’t care about it’s workers doesn’t mean the workers don’t have to.

      in my region the doordash type motorcyclists are the ones with a deathwish, they weave fast through traffic like they are immortal (and traffic laws don’t exist). needless to say they die a lot. the byciclists are rightfully afraid of our chaotic traffic, except when they install a motor on their bikes, for some reason.

      there is no dedicated separate bike lane in the country im from.

      sometimes they indicate them with paint on the pavement, but they’re always right on the edge and usually used for parking, and if you try to bike in those you’re going to have to merge into traffic quickly at some point.
