Well Avery, you seem to think that walking is really dangerous don't
you. Show me stats on how many accidents happen per hour of walking as
compared to cycling and the extent of those injuries. Like most others
here you'll probably fix the stats or take some obscure study with the
pedestrians all walking on the roadways.

Why would I have hatred of cyclists who don't look like me. No one does.
I just don't want to pay for someone's hospital bills for an injury that
could have been prevented. I also don't want to see any of my friends or
family die or get injured from a preventable accident. Luckily they
already have enough brains to wear helmets. Hey maybe if you aren't
smart enough to wear head protection we don't need you on the planet
anyways right.
