Cyclist Dies of Injuries from Central Park Crash
NYC bicyclists are killing pedestrians and the city won’t stop it
Since 2011, bicyclists have injured more than 2,250 pedestrians — including at least seven who died — according to stats from the city Department of Transportation and published reports.

Injuries are up 12 percent this year, rising to 127 through June 30 from 113 over the same period in 2018, the NYPD says.

Isn't the "Green New Deal" wonderful?

Chinese bike share graveyard a monument to industry's 'arrogance'

The large number of cycles on Chinese streets have led to scenes of clogged sidewalks no longer fit for pedestrians and piles of mangled bikes that have been illegally parked.

But the scene in Xiamen appears to be one of the largest amalgamations of discarded bicycles, with trucks unloading bikes from around the city.

I'm gonna assume you don't know much about how ebikes have spread in Chinese cities. It's due to vicious competition to be the dominant ebike operator funded by the big conglomerates that there is a massive oversupply of bikes. They are dirt cheap to ride, but you do see them everywhere.

Also lol at OP cars kill in so many ways. Poor air quality, hitting pedestrians, cyclists, and other cars. Cyclists are unfortunately limited in the damage they can do.

The article does not say how many of the twenty cyclists killed in New York so far this year "unnamed 77 year old pedestrian" was directly responsible for.

Until we find out otherwise the score is currently.

Unnamed 77 year old pedestrian - 1
Cyclist Charles Cheeseboro - zero.

Naked Florida Man Spotted Riding Bike Down Busy Street in Wilton Manors

The man was first spotted by witnesses who saw him riding a bike, naked, Thursday in the area of NE 6th Avenue and Wilton Drive, according to the Wilton Manors Police Department.

He then entered the adult store -- RockHard Lovestuff on Wilton Drive -- took a pair of "a--less" underwear off the shelf, put it on, and told employees that he wanted to give them his bike in exchange for the underwear.

According to a police report, the man left the store without paying for the underwear and without his bike. He headed back to Wilton Drive, walked up and down the busy street, and then removed his undergarment and exposed himself again.
