Rule of thumb in the #US... Look at #auto / #pedestrian injury stats in your area. Many of the same factors that make things dangerous for #cyclists 🚲 are also dangerous for #walkers. 🚶
Don't know the recent stats, but a few years ago #Florida was the worst in the US, and had two of the top three worst cities #Jacksonville and #Orlando . We generally don't even have sidewalks in many cities.
Several deaths and bad injuries in my area over the years. We have a #GhostBike hanging in a tree about a mile from my house. http://ghostbikes.org/ I avoid riding my bike on the highways in Fla. 🙁
In my experience, car drivers are rarely held responsible when they hit a bike.
