What people think I get injured by (sharks), vs. what I really got injured by just a week later (hit by a driver backing out a driveway & running over my bike). 2024 saw 47 unprovoked shark attacks with 4 fatalities worldwide, while 1166 cyclists died in US traffic crashes! @thewaroncars.bsky.social

An 8.6 ft Mako shark in the Pacific Ocean. A bicycle destroyed on the ground after being rolled over by a pick-up truck.

Discovery should have a "Car Week" when they take a deep dive into these killing machines.
