This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

True, but the insane injury rate for bikes in the US is overwhelmingly a skill issue; almost half of deaths have alcohol in their blood, most are single-vehicle from bikes taking a turn too fast.
2 wheels includes bicycles and ebikes on sidewalks, though thats not always feasible.
Oh absolutely, a large proportion of motorcycle injuries in the US are with unlicensed riders, too - we're talking about people who make bad decisions. it's no surprise that extends to riding skill.
