    Exactly. You don’t hear about bikes crashing through buildings and store fronts. Or knocking down road signs. Or power lines. Or bus stop shelters.

      Yeah, apart from medical costs, the worst a cyclist can do is maybe smash a window of a parked car. The maximum amount of property damage is maybe a few 1000. Nothing that an average person can’t pay off within a reasonable time frame.

        I’m willing to bet that most cyclists crashes cost the cyclist more (i.e. to fix/replace their own bike) than the damage they caused to other things. LOL
