Accidents always happen. That’s why bikes shouldn’t be near auto traffic. Most of the time a car on car accident leaves the people involved with little or no injuries. But a car on bike accident is almost always bad for the person on bike. Cars and bikes just don’t mix. In the big picture it’s safer for bikes to be on the sidewalk.
It is illegal to ride your bike on the sidewalk here. The cops arrest you if you ride on the sidewalk and they run you over if you ride on the road.
I know you can’t ride bikes on the sidewalk.
Humans always make mistakes. And it really sucks when someone in a car gets into an accident with someone on a bike. I drove by a car/bike accident. It was an old woman in the car and a young woman on the bike. I think the girl on the bike had a broken leg. The old woman looked so sad. She had such remorse on her face and in how she moved. I felt just as bad for her as the girl on the bike.
The cop was driving 45 MPH in a 25 MPH zone.
Cops do have to drive fast to get to a call.
a real emergency no doubt.
