I’m sure you obviously use the mass transit is some way. I want to see you go upto the driver of that bus who takes hundreds of people around safely and tell him he needs a helmet.

A vehicle driven by a professional with extensive training is much safer than one driven by an amateur with pro forma training.

Copenhaganize is a website full of cycling mass hysteria. That hysteria is not currently practical in bigger countries of the world.

Streetsblog.net should definitely enforce a “practical hysteria only” policy.

Ridiculous. And driving is a dangerous transportation mode for what reason? In becomes dangerous for the same reasons that bicycling becomes dangerous - Inattentiveness, alcoholism, multitasking, mechanical issues. Period. I'm sure you obviously use the mass transit is some way. I want to see you go upto the driver of that bus who takes hundreds of people around safely and tell him he needs a helmet. I suspect you'll be the first one he throws out of the bus. Stop preaching that other modes of transport are dangerous. Copenhaganize is a website full of cycling mass hysteria. That hysteria is not currently practical in bigger countries of the world. “Copenhagenize has a post on a different kind of helmet — to protect your head when you’re using a truly dangerous transportation mod”
