        And there we are, same mentality as car drivers…

        I don’t know we’re you live, but bikes going through stops or pedestrians passages without slowing down is not a problem from the pedestrians.

      This. People on cars know that they can hurt pedestrians. Cyclists, not so much. Yet they can still hurt pedestrians, at least as much as cars, if not more.

    Then a bike going 50km/h shows up and the betters get their wallets out.

      Injury danger in a crash is roughly proportional to mass as well, and a car is going to be 20x heavier than a bike or more. A fast bike can be a problem, but not nearly as much as a car.

        There’s been multiple terrorist attacks with people just driving cars. Try doing that on a bike

          I’m suddenly reminded of that one superhero from One Punch Man who crashes his bike into people.

            Crashes into one person. Picks up his bike hops on. Moves around in a circle to build up speed, and bam. Another person with a scraped elbow
