Not a single 'Looks like a session comment'? Disappointed in all of you.

Glad to see you upright, Alicia! Wishing you a strong recovery!

Probably not *the* worst, but somewhere up there. Off-roaders (quads, bikes, side-by-sides) do much more damage both to soil, and CO2 emissions. MTBers do align with truck ownership an awful lot. Maybe some people can justify a tacoma, but SO many Tundras, Sierras and just *huge* trucks at the trailhead.

I think that counts overpriced gravel bike with flat bars

@aug7hallak: especially in the US

@LucaP: Wait I meant peanutbutter cups. I've got lots of peanut butter cups. Probably why I can't ride like that.

@LucaP: Even with them..

@mildsauce91: Hard agree on the CDL

@mikelevy: I think you're making a reducto-ad-absurdum argument; Yes, regulation could be extreme, but modest regulation *could*( have significant impact - let's say a random rules restricts 5ft high grills for non-commercial vehicles , or require inspection by department of transportation? What if that saves 10 lives/year, and makes 100 people lift their truck just a liiiitle less? I think that's worth it. 100 truck owners may not - why we live in a democracy baby!

@mikelevy: But accidents do just happen and let's assume people driving sedans & trucks hit pedestrians & cyclists at roughly the same frequency, traveling at the same speed. The poor SOBs who get hit by the trucks are more likely to die than those hit by the sedans - again purely assuming accidents, no malicious intent, traveling at the same speed. There's a number of deaths (difference in death rate between sedan & truck) that could have been preventable with different vehicle design (e.g. lower hoods). Don't think this means truck drivers are murderers or anything. If more people bought smaller vehicles with lower hoods, more pedestrians & cyclists would be alive though.
