Interesting video. Doesn’t really get into the second half of their title very much but covers the problem pretty well. People in general are just more angry now. Politics, finances, health care (!!!), climate change, etc etc etc.

From a cyclist’s perspective (my own) the fix would be MUCH more protected infrastructure. That only addresses the immediate, physical issue tho - and it would 100% be seen as at the expense of other stressed road users. It does nothing to address the collective mental brokenness we seem to all be sharing.

      Somebody needs to make (Or I need to do a better job searching for) a small camera that does forwards and backwards and uses a GoPro mount so I can stick it on top of my helmet. A regular GoPro is way too big/heavy and not bidirectional.

        You could get an Insta360 but I heard the battery life is kinda not great unless you drop the resolution. You could also network Ghost Drift cameras.

        I ride with a Ghost Drift XL because it’s a robust, affordable solution but it does not do 360.

    Yeah, by the time we could come up with such infrastructure in anything resembling a pervasive manner, the money would’ve been FAR better spent addressing the source of the problem directly - and doing so would have a MUCH wider positive effect on society’s woes as a whole.

    Too bad that’s unlikely to happen with the current world-wide trend of lurching to the short-sighted right-wing end of politics.
