    Precisely. Claiming that biking is more dangerous than driving because car-supremacist land use patterns force cyclists out into suburban sprawl is essentially disingenuous victim-blaming.

      Claiming that biking is MUCH more dangerous than driving is just reality. It’s a function of dividing deaths by miles traveled. Individuals live in the real world as it is now and must make decisions based on actual reality not what you imagine might be fare in a more reasonable world than we live in whilst making positive change for the future.

      You aren’t a victim and nobody is blaming you by understanding actual reality.
