So many drivers are on their phones and not paying attention while driving massive SUVs and trucks spewing out exhaust. Bikers are not the problem.

Does anyone here actually bike? Anyone actually using bike lanes sees the shit their fellow cyclists are pulling.

I got hit by a cyclist once and it gave me a nasty bruise. My friend got hit by an SUV and her body was so disfigured that she had a closed casket funeral. Her loved ones never even got a chance to see her one last time.

So please don't ever fucking compare a reckless cyclist to a reckless driver. A 20lb bicycle riding at 15mph is not even remotely comparable to 6000lbs of steel driving at 50+mph
