And cyclists riding on sidewalks, accidents just waiting to happen.
I live in a mainly white/blue collar area, there are no bicycle paths with 2 miles of me. But there are a lot of bicyclists. Haven't seen an accident here yet, might be safer driving.
My college town has bike lanes. I almost hit POC coming out of my street BECAUSE HE WAS RIDING HIS BIKE AT FULL SPEED GOING THE WRONG WAY IN THE BICYCLE LANE.
You can’t fix stupid.
Everything is Racists! That’s what I’ve heard anyways.
Cuz they steal cars...not bikes?
Why don’t more blacks swim?
The headline is a good example of how people whose focus on race are morons.
Welcome to West Pensacola, Florida, where cyclists and drivers share the roads. And now, wokesters, FOAD.
It also does not address the tax base base that makes those goodies: sidewalks, bike lanes, etc, available. Poor white neighborhoods won’t have those either.
I’ll go out on a limb here here. The people who hate authority and laws are the people dart all over the road without any regard for the automobiles on the road. They strut in the center of the roads and DARE you to hit them. I’ve seen this many, many times and I’m sure you have, too.
But would that behavioral origin be mentioned? Nah, it’s not their fault.
I thought it was because roads are racist.
Checklist for determining whether or not an article is bull****.
If: The words racist/race are used
Then: The article is total, pure, unmitigated and quite nonacademic bull****.
Simple, eh?
The lines on the road are yellow and bike lanes are lined in green. I guess the black paint kind of gets hidden.
Some of that may be true, but it’s probably because their bikes will get stolen.
Blacks don’t ride bicycles because it is a “display of whiteness”.
Doctor: Then don't do that.
Personally, I would advise the POCs not to ride bikes.In communities of color with a high concentration of low to middle-income residents, the lack of cycling infrastructure elements, such as bike trails, bike lanes, or even shoulders, drug dealer, hos, rampaging gang bangers, needles, feces, unpicked up and rotting garbage, make cycling unsafe and impractical.
Fixed
I quit riding bicycles years ago and Cycles before that. There’s too many crazies on the road, most of them are young and they have these hot little rice burners that they speed around in partying and distracted.
I have had enough broken bones from construction accidents I do not need to have any more from some idiot in traffic.
Absolutely DUMBEST article I’ve seen all day
Ebby’ting be Rassist yo’...
Don’t these people ever get tired of this BS?
ROTFL! Funny stuff. Too many jokes fit in here but we’re all happy that Whitey Lib pointed this out to us or would have never known. The evil old Racial Divide. It’s the same reason why most dead cyclists were wearing Nikes.
In most cities different groups of people have inhabited specific neighborhoods in different periods of time. As just one example, the neighborhoods in Boston with the largest percentage of minority residents today used to be neighborhoods inhabited by white residents. The streets, sidewalks, and parks were built by and for the white people who lived in those neighborhoods at the time.
How is even remotely reasonable to now claim that somehow supposedly higher rates of pedestrian and bicycle injuries are a result of racist policies that built less safe streets and sidewalks in minority neighborhoods?
