dane here. i talk to many who are scared of #cycling because of #cars.either they've been attacked or threatened themselves, or they know someone who was hurt badly by #carviolence. many drivers in their increasingly huge #SUVs are distracted by their phones.
a colleague of mine was struck from the side by a van that illegally didn't yield. the driver rushed out to check if his car had any scratches, but didn't bother checking on the cyclist he hit. that's the #copenhagen mentality.
the relentless #victimblaming doesn't help either. #cops will always call it an "accidental #accident" or a "bicycle accident" as if the bicycle is at fault when some distracted driver crushes them. or "the cyclist wasn't wearing a helmet," as the newspapers always write it.
sure, #bicycle paths can be crowded — but the reason the space gets so tight on there is that most of the city space is dedicated to the less space-efficient vehicles.
blaming #ebikes (instead of cars) for less bikable cities is like blaming refugees for your rent being too high (instead of landlords), or yelling at a wheelchair user for taking up all the pavement space.

@Zygos
people drivin round in their killer #SUV, going like »oh i'm just a tiny little pedestrian« once they park it — like that 1950s #MotorMania cartoon with Goofy.judging from this #motorist bias, it's almost certain he's a car driver:
> Injuries related to e-bikes spiked 1,022% from 2020 to 2024, and the American College of Surgeons says only one third of injured e-bike riders were wearing helmets.
if you sit in your chair in your garden and a tiger jumps out and bites you in the face, sure, technically you could call that a chair accident or a garden-related injury.
that shit is the victim-blamiest way wiping the responsibility for #carviolence onto #cyclists.

"China Plans To Limit How Fast Your Car Accelerates To 100kmph At Startup"
Since all cars are controlled electronically now, this must become the norm.
Obviously good for safety. And to limit energy consumption which saves money and spare the planet.
We must limit what our overpowered growup toys can do. It's a no brainer really.

Today's delivery run. I park outside the post office next to a sign advertising a lottery which has cars as prizes. On the way home I cross the road next to evidence of the everyday violence handed out to pedestrians and cyclists by drivers.

A car did this? The entire article blames the car. No mention of the driver until the last paragraph #CarViolence https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/07/17/car-crash-hospital-icu-pgcounty/

CW: Car Violence against KC humans on bikes, instagram
Someone used their car to hit and injure a person riding a bike and then fled the scene. The cyclist is recovering but we need help finding the driver. This was Thursday 12/8 around 6pm on the loop around the downtown airport. #CarViolence
