And you're a troll, this isn't a zero sum game, making bikes safe matters, you complete weirdo.

But making cars safe doesnt.

So you're just incentivizing a much more dangerous behavior. You are the problem.

"drat my bike won't go at unreasonable speeds, my only solution must be abandoning my still perfectly functional bike and laying down several grand on the single least practical means of transportation in the city. What's a MetroCard?"

Shut. Up.

Okay but do people do that at all? Like, get around with cars on the street? I haven't been to ny in a few years but it feels like they do.
