But here is my favorite observation:

'As the blog Bike Snob NYC put it,

in the future, “humanity will marvel that there was once an age in which
a mode of transportation as inexpensive and accessible as the bicycle
was considered ‘elitist.’”'

My favourite observation was that in a city in which 800 pedestrians are struck and injured or killed by vehicles every year-- more than two a *day*-- one bicyclist striking and killing a pedestrian has attracted international attention and even the unsought and hard-to-attract attention of the prosecutor.
