I’ve been hit by a half dozen cyclists (all in SF, despite having spent more time as an adult in more biking dense Europe) and never by a car.

I’m probably not going to attempt to draw any policy or broader conclusions from this.

I have been hit by a car; the driver didn't look my way when pulling out after having stopped at a minor-to-major junction.

Even at, to guess, 10 mph, I don't recommend it. Wrote off my bicycle.

But yeah, small samples are bad to draw conclusions from.

The people who have been rammed by a car can't contribute to this discussion as they're dead. It's around 10-20 every year in San Francisco.

It looks like there was one pedestrian death caused by a cyclist in around the last 10 years.
