I feel like I’ve seen an uptick in articles posted here that are covering cyclists or pedestrians getting killed in car crashes. I understand that this community is centered around our hatred for cars but seeing a constant feed of deaths by cars isn’t really what I want. I would prefer memes, discussions on how to improve things, and articles about policy etc instead of an endless stream of daily deaths.

How do you feel about these posts?

    This isn’t /killedbyacar/.

    People die and are injured in and around cars every day. The community should be about positive change and how to effect change in our own communities.

      …and yet…for decades and decades…we see no substantiative actions from the very people who will most likely get killed by these csrs.

      Positive change? Where? Show me it please.

        Well, no, urbanists have been begging for walkable spaces, cycle lanes, and useful transit for some time. Car users fight at every step of the way, refusing to understand that with fewer cars on the road, their trips get better.
