Even more reason to shut the fuck up. If you are in a country that will punish you for refusing to make statement without a lawyer you are already fucked either way so you might as well shut up.

This illustrates the importance of going full "shut the fuck up Friday"-mode when being interrogated by police. Name, date of birth and country of origin. Nothing else until you have a lawyer sitting next to you.

The main advantage lies have over truth is that lies does not need to mesh with other lies.

I believe the idea is that you are supposed to distribute these bricks to deserving straight people.

I'll be sure to take your experience into account next time I fall on my ass.

Good for you, I guess?

It depends on where you live I guess. I live in Sweden and bike everywhere so I hit ice and go down at least once or twice every winter. It's usually black ice in early winter where things look fine and nothing is sanded or salted yet and you hit a curve that is just glass.

Some neighborhoods don't plow the local roads so that the cars just pack the snow and Polish it into an icerink. If you then add powdered snow so that it looks fine you can suddenly go down and slide several meters. In those situations you are a bit fucked because there isn't enough traction to get up again and you have to turtle a bit until you find your footing.

Summer and spring is mostly fine tough with the exception of 2 collisions from other bikes and once when one of the pedals mechanically failed. This is over more than a decade tough so it sounds like it's more than it is but it's still more incidents than my brother have had while driving which is zero.

I mean, when a car hits s bike the car is more dangerous overall but the driver sure won't be injured by it. I know the accident statistic for electric scooters it absolutely lethal because cars keep killing them.

There is also the question if you count number of incidents or overall harm. Bicyclists scrape their knees and bruise their arms all the time, especially if you also use it in winter and fall.

The goal is generally that the road capacity and car speed will shrink as car use shrinks but things will also be closer together because there isn't 10 lane roads and parking that spaces everything out. Ideally things will even out and stay roughly the same as now.
