It found that vegetarians had a 21% lower risk of pancreatic cancer and a 9% lower risk of breast cancer compared with meat eaters.

They also have a 12% reduced risk of prostate cancer, 28% lower risk of kidney cancer and 31% lower risk of multiple myeloma.

The driving infrastructure is in place and it’s hostile to pedestrians (and many others). People can act all smug about what should and shouldn’t be all the way into the grave.

We can either take reasonable steps and vote in parties who’ll improve the infrastructure or we can take unreasonable steps such as tactical urbanism where we dig pot holes and leave shit on the road to deter drivers.

I walk early in the morning wearing all black. I am aware that I’m effectively invisible to cars. I drive too. That’s neither of our faults so I make efforts not to be hit by cars. Cars have been told that they’re allowed to drive at a given speed (60km/h) and have no reason to expect to lookout for my black clad arse on the road.

I hold the government responsible for cycling fatalities. They’re the ones who provide the shit infrastructure. You can sing you “hold drivers responsible” tune all you want but it’s still the government that is the one expected to hold them responsible… which they aren’t. You’re gonna be correct and dead with that attitude. Meanwhile I’ll happily wear a high viz vest, bike lights and a helmet because that’ll help me be safer and come home to my family.

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.

It’s much easier to make rules for private warehouses. We do need to redesign transit infrastructure to accommodate cyclists safely. But it’s a massive undertaking and there’s a heap of cunts out there who don’t give a fuck about cyclists and want to spend the money adding lanes to freeways or other dumb shit to make cars lives easier (sell more fuel)…

It’s a safety precaution, like bike lights and seat belts. It’s better that people take precautions. I’ve worn a hard hat on job sites for years because it’s Union mandated for safety.

I’d be dead a few times if it wasn’t for my bike helmet.

Bazzite. It’s fine. I miss some games with anti-cheat.
