Busting the myth of the "scofflaw cyclist" Danish Road Directorate studies reveal that while 66% of motorists routinely break road traffic laws only 5% of cyclists do so. Law breaking by cyclists is higher where there is no cycle-specific infrastructure.

out on a bike you see much easier than when you're sitting in a box on wheels.

when i'm driving i don't even consider "not adhering to Stop signs", when i'm on a bike slowing down is enough to look and consider stopping or continuing

i should also remind that bikes do not weigh a ton and don't kill a million people every year
