But as the third party you still donât want 100 kg (200 pounds) of dude and aluminium frame running into you at 20 km/h (12.4 mph), if you are a pedestrian, a second cyclist, or a biker.
Absolutely. A cycle can kill someone if they are unfortunately. But a car can kill dozens of people at the same time.
In terms of policy and policing it makes sense to look at outcomes. Heavily policing drunk cycling would result in more drunk driving, which would end up killing more people. So however much drunk cycling is policed, drunk driving should be policed significantly more.

i always feel that a distinction needs to be made between people effectively walking on the bike and people who go fast, same as how walking down a corridor is obviously fine but running (or god forbid sprinting) isnât allowed because it can genuinely harm people.
