I grew up in a poor town with redneck dumb fucks. I've had cars TRY to hit me, I believe because "running is gay." Because of this I have chops so that a car will never hit me running or walking*. I do not leave that as an opportunity, as I can always see cars coming. On the other hand bike in bikes lanes and generally are much harder to see and anticipate. I guess I'm saying one can be more careful and do okay with cars.
As to your sentiment, PayPal me $50 and I will pass it on to him.
*and I am not unsympathetic to those hit by cars, as my biggest internet crush was.
