> it will just cause the cyclists to remove themselves from traffic after which there is even less of a reason to do something about it

Please re-read this. How are you not advocating for people (including children) to sacrifice their lives so that we can get attention to the issue?

And no, I'm not going to stop bringing this up. I'm right and it's not even close.

I am not advocating anybody sacrifice their lives, including children.

Suit yourself, but then at least stop complaining about the pushback.

> after which there is even less of a reason to do something about it

Please explain what you meant here. Less of a reason to do something about what? I don't know what you could mean other than people getting are getting hurt or dying, and if that stops happening then there will be less attention on the issue.

At what point will you stop optimizing for the number of dead children? Why not keep them in a padded room with some electrical impulses to stimulate their muscles as needed, while feeding them a perfect blend of nutrients for exact caloric intake.

Edit: lol this doesn't even break the site rules... it's a legitimate question. Fuck you dang.
