What about low speed collisions where the impact does kill you but your head hitting the curb like a melon does? My city has 20mph zone in most locations now so most collisions aren't fatal directly but you're still going to hit the ground

    NL has the infrastructure and civic sense to respect cyclists.

    The two roads near me are 60 and 80 km/h with no cycling lanes. People are absolute cunts to me on the road near my house. I basically own a van to drive my bike to the bike path.
