I'm not sure parent blamed cyclists, but rather their working conditions.

Where I live we have no cyclist lanes so all food delivery gig workers use motorbikes. I personally see a traffic accident involving these people almost every week.

I think if construction work didn't have strict health and safety regulations we would see/hear about construction accidents every day.

This (new) industry should be regulated in the same way.

On the contrary, most of the city has pretty good bike lanes set up.

It's just that they don't get enough time to do the commute safely, or at least safety is gravely disincentivized with extra pay.

No, it doesn't. I can't tell from their comment whether their city/town has good cycling infrastructure or not. Even if it does, the app would still incentivize using it (and roads and sidewalks) incorrectly and dangerously.

If the payment model is every delivery = comission, then they'll go as fast as possible, even with good bike lanes.

Red light, but the cross street is empty? They'll probably blow through it. And they'll be making these kinds of stupid risk assessments every few seconds, and statistics would say the chances of 100% success are against them...

There are cities where cyclists use bike lanes?
