Biased towards following people unlike me but with overlapping interests.

I'm aware that not everyone can ride a bike, it's been mentioned once or twice in the past.

I occasionally get people messaging me after doing a surface-level analysis of how many people die each year from crashes while cycling versus other countries.

This is often done to "debunk" the need for safe cycling infrastructure.

This graph shows the real reason.

Notice that the VAST majority of cycling-related deaths in NL are from people over 60.

People over 60 are more likely to die in any serious crash.

In other countries, these people don't cycle at all, because it's not safe.

@notjustbikes @portaloffreedom I have a rant coming on about infrastructure for whomst. Helped move my niece last week, Boston Chinatown to Somerville. Bike+trailer works really well for that, but Goo Maps routed me on two "walk your bike" ramps. That's not bicycle infrastructure, especially "walking" a bike with a bunch of boxes on a trailer (the bike gives much, much better purchase on that load, something not understood by the walk-yer-bike crowd).
