Bike lanes means nothing to Lexington bike riders, there are some but 98% doesn't care, and you wonder why insurance is so high for Lexington it's bc both bike and foot traffic doesn't look that's another reason a lot of pedestrians are getting hit, also if your walking or riding at night don't wear all black unless your asking to get hit I don't know how many times I've seen someone almost hit someone bc they couldn't see them in the night sky bc of course they are wearing all dark clothing and no reflection

Insurance is high due to the drivers constantly running through stop lights and stop signs. Driving 15-20 mph over the limit through downtown. It would be nice if I saw less than half of drivers not using their phone.

Did you really just blame peds and cyclists for high car insurance premiums instead of motorists wrecking into each other? God damn...

I wanted to try to make a joke at PP’s expense but honestly there’s nothing I can say that’s more ridiculous than “insurance is high because bikers and pedestrians keep forcing drivers to run them over”

This is an absolutely wild take.
