Complete stupidity. I don’t give a damn about bikes, who rides and where.
“For every mile ridden, Black cyclists are 4.5 times more likely to be killed than white cyclists.”
Belligerence is a killer.
… for every mile walked, Black people are twice as likely to be killed by cars compared to white pedestrians. …
Pull up your pants, put your Obamaphone down, and pay attention.
What f’n dribble! To top if off idiots that follow the fake news actually believe this horse shit.
How can anyone discuss Blacks getting killed on bicycles, Blacks having auto accidents or Blacks murdering each other, without mentioning Black I.Q.s?
I’m a serious cyclist and all of the very stupid things I’ve seen people on bikes do, were done by Blacks.
In many cases, people ride bikes because they have lost their drivers licenses, due to DUI/substance abuse. Such people may also be at higher risk of getting in the way of traffic.
oh my God this is pure bullsugar.
and i see black kids on bikes all over the neighborhood and we don’t have side walks or streetlights.
How about staying on the sidewalks and not walking in the middle of the street?
See this all the time - then they wonder why they get hit by cars.
Los Angeles recently "decriminalized" jay walking b/c too many blacks were getting jay walking tickets.
Upshot? More blacks walking in the streets hit by cars. This is blamed on racism by the local media.
Everything thought generated in the narrow, propaganda fueled brain of a liberal is centered on race. It’s much more convenient than actually thinking. When your brain has only two active cells, you must use them wisely.
With the generalities and broad-brushing this reads like a high school or junior college theme paper for an English or sociology class or an essay for a grant application.
Biden: If you don’t vote Democrat, you might ride a bike.
Cycling takes a toll on those who ignore the law. Ignore traffic laws, and the laws of physics take over.
Wealthy people ride bikes for sport and exercise and have the ability to do so more safely. Poor people who ride bikes are often young, reckless, ride on more congested streets.
In this country we drive if we can, take public transit if we can’t. Bike riding is a luxury of time, not generally a way to get around. Just as there is a skew in wealth there will be a skew in biking statistics. Ergo, a relatively large number of wealthy people ride safely and a smaller number of poor, minority people ride in very dangerous conditions and the rate of injuries among the minority riders is higher.
Stupid headline, stupid conclusions.
Oh pish posh, everyone knows it’s climate change that prevents blacks from riding bikes. Keeps them from swimming too.
More black cyclists die because they don’t ware the jockey clothes like most of the cyclists do.
How is it, in a country so obviously against the proliferation of blacks could there be so many? From everything I read, every activity, venue, situation, everything is contrived in a manner to be an obstacle to, or at a minimum unappealing to blacks. If whites, Latinos, or Asians enjoy an activity but blacks don’t, must that activity be banned as racist, or should they just STFU for once?
I can’t sleep at night because this problem weighs so heavy on my mind.
Oh, shut up.
A cyclist (man or woman) is a serious athlete who rides a bike for fitness (often in addition to other forms of cardio exercise).
On the other hand altogether, a guy who happens to use a bike as a means of transportation, often because he has lost his driver's license due to alcohol, isn't a cyclist.
If this person is a black guy in a black (i.e., high crime) neighborhood, he is an easy victim of violent crime because, well, there he is coasting along, weaving this way and that, on a silly-looking bicycle (often stolen).
Usually, "guys on a bike" have no idea what the road rules are for bikes. They ride against the traffic, without a helmet, and often ride erratically.
If anyone holds a grudge against a guy riding a bike--well, why not repay him while he is most vulnerable...riding that silly-looking bike.
