Bikes should not be on roads. They cause danger for everyone and should be on the sidewalks.

I have tried to find evidence of cyclists killing any motorists in recent decades. The very few that I have found have almost exclusively been cases where a road rage incident ends with a cyclist delivering a lethal beating to a motorist who stopped and wanted to mix it up.

Recently a San Francisco cyclist pleaded guilty to causing the death of a pedestrian in a crosswalk.

I agree cyclist who are idiots are a danger to themselves, but a danger to motorists? Get over yourself.

There’s a law that anyone over 10-y/o is prohibited from riding a bike on the sidewalk.

The relative merits of bicycles as road vehicles aside, a genuine, heartwarming story in contrast to the vapid hero-worship demonstrated here earlier today...
