So you never travel on motorways then? Because every time you travel on one, driver or passenger, pogo stick or motor vehicle, you're depending on every other idiot on the road for your safety.
I’ll partly agree…
Except I am surrounded by steel, safety features, lighting, seat belts, and air bags.
And I do not depend on them. I depend on my situational awareness and habits.
On a bicycle you are out there with a helmet and spandex.
