_haha_oh_wow_Why Biking to Work Might Be the Best Decision You Ever Make
ironhydroxideRight up until you get run over
ArsecroftWell yeah, then you do not have to go to work anymore.
You have a very valid point there.
Just be sure to get hit by a rich person so you can sue and always make sure you have a camera rolling.
Annoyed_🦀 Buy insurance too, the one that covers getting hit while commuting.
It also helps to start out rich, so you can survive through the inevitable lawsuit and delays.
Vandals_handleMy doctor said all the commuting will make me a great organ donor.
I got run over, broke my arm, got surgery, and still love bike commuting. I won’t let reckless drivers have the power to affect my lifestyle. 360 camera on my helmet now and live in a more bike friendly place.
I’m aware of this possibility. It’s just…the bike isn’t the problem. Two bikes crash, both fine. Two pedestrians crash, both fine. Two trains crash once in a double blue moon. It’s only cars. Just cars that keep resulting in these tragedies - THEY are the cause. Not the other, non-armored-tank modes.
Or, move to a place that allows you to have a bike friendly commute.
According to their study, cycling commuters had:
A 47% lower risk of dying from any cause. A 10% lower chance of ending up in the hospital for any reason.
So statistically, it’s safer than sitting on your ass all day, even including the risks.
