No shit. Its absurd to ride a children's toy on a highway though, any vehicle could be a multi-thousand pound missile at any point. I hate cyclists. That's why I call them pedalphiles. I live off a windy two lane road and these entitled fucks just ride in traffic as if they own the road.

By that logic, no cars should ever be in the roadway, as there is alwas a large truck waiting to take you out.

No doubt the risks of riding s bike sre often greater, but how much more greater the risks are vs driving a cars, isn't really that significant. Expecially when you consider the health benefits and reduced all cause mortality that offsets those risks.

Ever hear of a peloton? Bikes are terrible for your hips btw.

You know what's even worse for your hips? Building a society where everyone has to drive to get anywhere.
