Tbf there's assholes who behave recklessly in traffic on every mode of transportation. I've been run into by a bike twice in the past few years. But guess what, if we built proper infrastructure for them, they wouldn't choose the sidewalk in order to protect themselves from cars. Also, the choice between whether you'd rather a bike or a car runs into you is pretty obvious.
No doubt. I pick car every time. Listening to the douchebag cyclist whining after the accident would be too much for me to bear.
When I was 11 a cyclist ran me over while I was getting off a bus and then proceeded to scold me for a few minutes. I prefer a bruise and a scolding despite being in the right over a broken bone and an apology. But you do you.
