Sure, I’m unlikely to get killed by a bike, whereas the danger is greater with a car. But overall, there are many more accidents (and just the feeling of insecurity) than there are deaths. Again, I’m all for bikes on the street; I hope to own one myself very soon. I’m just saying that on a day-to-day basis, bikes are a greater danger/nuisance to me as a pedestrian than automobiles.**
That said, this all comes from someone who’d love for personal cars to be banned from Manhattan. But even if that were the case, I still think a majority of cyclists would be assholes.
