>>1096429>because you're going to get run over by through traffic who don't need to check only reactBikes don't have blind spots like cars. If for some reason I miss something, I'm the one getting killed. You also need to look out as a motorist, and I rutinely roll up to intersections and don't see drivers look at all, or just check one direction.
So, no, until full-time motorists hold up their end of the bargain first, I'm not taking all the risk and also losing all the potential privilege.
>Says who? You either do, and you can stop since all you need to do is push your little foot down, while I need to either mash in a high gear if I suddenly had to stop, or shift back up from a lower one using my actual fucking body.
If you don't and you're there, why would I go fucking through, ya knob? That's not even OP's scenario.
>Also, people typically don't have reflective material on their side or the side of their bicycle.And I see more cars without their lights on in the rain than on, even though lights on/wipers on is the State law.
I don't need to be reflective so drunk drivers can come follow me.
Eat me.
