And what was this bike rider doing ---let's see--- going the wrong way up a street . What is the safest speed to drive---the speed at which nearly all the other cars are going . The speed limit on Minnesota needs to be raised to 65 MPH .   People driving cars and trucks are required to carry insurance to be on the roads---bike riders zero.  People driving have to wear seat belts---bike riders don't even have to use helmets .Today's cars have airbags and drivers and passengers are protected by the outer walls of the car ----bike riders have zero protection.   In a collision between a bike and car the bike rider is going to get hurt and the car driver may feel a slight bump. Given the odd's of human error---and that drivers are as bad as you claim---you or any other bike rider must be insane or have a death wish to ride on our streets.  We have spent millions on bike trails to get bikes off the streets , yet you still roll the dice every time you ride a bike on the road .  That's insane.
