But Skydancer, the capacity for a car to be dangerous isn't being denied here by BQ or anyone else for that matter. We (cyclists) don't hurtle about on pavements (on the whole) as it's frowned upon and criminalised because it's dangerous. Cyclists could be a social nightmare and dangerous to boot if they acted that way, but we choose to modify our behavior. As should all drivers and as do most. I don't really see the relative lethal capacity of the vehicles to be the issue it's their respective behavior. And behavior can be affected, modified and moderated.
