    By regularly riding through red lights and stop signs (after yielding to make sure it's safe for all), we can encourage the powers-that-be to modernize their rules...because we are NOT one-tonne-killing-machines!

    When hit by a motorized vehicle...

    - at 60 km/h (40mph) a pedestrian has an 85% chance of being killed,

    - at 50 km/h (30mph) s/he has a 45% chance of being killed, while

    - at 30 km/h (20mph) the risk of being killed falls to 5%.
