Quit walking and bicycling on roads in Maryland and this would stop, people can’t drive here
You might as well be saying “don’t dress like that and you won’t get raped.” Victim blaming isn’t the right answer here
Bicycling and walking on the roads here is committing suicide
I cycled for a few years on rail trails until it got congested with squads doing sit-ups in the middle of the trail and walkers sometimes got pissed when I’d fly by them. Then I hit the shoulders for a few weeks and quickly gave that up. Then converted to dirt trail bikes and still caught occasional hate from walkers/horseback so I quit entirely. There aren’t places left for bikes sadly. Roads are suicide unless the phone app drivers are currently watching shows idiot cyclists in the middle of the road.
