> … has only upsides.
The three most avid cyclists I know have all had life-changing accidents on their bicycles - my best friend who introduced me to cycling, my brother in law, and an ex-business partner who I introduced to cycling. All broke their hips and various other bones, and all had to have surgery and extensive rehab. So “only upsides” is perhaps a little too rosy.
no, you see / those downsides are due to cars
those shouldn't exist. therefore, they are free.
One of the accidents was due to trains. He lost control riding over railroad tracks. Another was due to a pothole, which I suppose indirectly may have been due to cars.
