    As a bike rider, doesn’t that skew even more the relative advantage you get by not giving a fuck? If nobody wants a “weak” car, they should be even cheaper than in a sane market that values cars by their ability to go fast and accurately from A to B, no?

      No, because they pay out the nose for huge SUVs these days which increases the chance they’ll kill us cyclists.

        No I meant coming from ignorance, since I am a biker, but on the matter of buying “ugly” cars.

      Eh, it also means relatively fewer weak cars are being built. So it helps, but not as much as you’d think.
