The number of bicyclists we lose in collisions with cars, just in Somerville and Cambridge, is tragic and terrifying. 😭

(I actually did check and make sure it wasn't @crschmidt@better.boston we lost in this ebike crash yesterday. I worried.)

Not in any way forgiving cars, but for my own cycling I at least try to avoid those unsafe intersections where possible. I’m still uneasy about taking the bridges into downtown more than I need to.
Almost as if sharing the road on a 30 pound bike with 3000+ pound cars is inherently risky. If only there was some kind of infrastructure that could keep these things mostly seperated.
