Cars routinely kill people unlike bicycles.

The only reason you’re more afraid of bikes than cars is because you’re socialized to accept cars.

I've personally been hit by more bikes than cars, even suffering long-term injury in once case.

Well, that’s not surprising.

Bike lanes usually adjoin sidewalks, as opposed to car lanes, which usually have some buffer.

But also because if you were hit by a car the likelihood of you being around to write a comment about it would be extremely low.
