    You are dismissing the experience of a group of people whose experience you have obviously not shared. Have you looked up statistics of car crashes and the incidence of injuries and deaths of cyclist in your area?? I have. Have you experienced the reality of commuting by bike in a North American city? I have.

    I’ll be happy to continue this conversation with a person that has done the minimum to learn and understand reality.

      No, I am dismissing the concept of basing reasoning - and policy - off of fear, or any emotion. When it comes to making policy and shaping a societal narrative, experience is good. Emotion, however, is very bad.
