I personally know more people who’ve gotten somewhat badly injured biking drunk (clipless pedals…) than who have hurt themselves or others driving… (1 vs 0)
Actually now that i think about it, the car accident people i know are dead, that’s why i didn’t remember… (2 fatalities that i can think of, not sure if alcohol was even involved).
Agreed. Most people think that biking drunk is harmless, and it mostly is. My friend got badly hurt but she’s still alive; and that was part of her turning her life around. Unlike the people i know who were killed by cars.

There’s your problem. Those things are useless and just increase the chance of falling over.
Turns out 99% of the force is on the downstroke anyway and clipless pedals don’t matter. I will die on this hill, I’ve read the studies
People should have a right to endanger themselves but not others
