Your feelings are wrong.

There were 2000 pedestrians killed by cars in NYC from 2018 to 2021 and only 12 killed by bicycles.

1) I certainly don’t want to die. I also simply don’t want to get hit.

2) Bicycle/pedestrian are under reported.

3) I am specifically referring to my experience in Manhattan. In large portions of Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx I think my attitude would be different.

(Also thanks for the link - poking around the DOT site they have some great information. Surprised to see how many pedestrian fatalities involved alcohol — on the part of the pedestrian!)

Are you saying bicycle/pedestrian deaths are under-reported? I find that very hard to believe.
