"Cycling should not be a life-or-death activity" is it though, just like driving a car is.

If you're in a car and you get hit by a car you have much stronger legal protection than if you're mowed down by a car when not in one.

Pedestrian? Cyclist? $50 fine.

That you face stiffer penalties for pirating a DVD or smoking a joint speaks to how broken the legal framework is.

In the end, life is strictly a death activity.
