But then it's a shame that the ones that have to suffer the most from this are the pedestrians (and animals, my dog is petrified every time that a motorbike passes by). We don't have an easy solution for this, but fighting fire with fire is definitely not the way to go.
I hate how loud the bikes gotta be. I'm right there with you, trust me. If there were more riders and people were just intuitively aware of bikes, like in SE Asia (it doesn't need to be a river of riders, just more commonplace than now), then I think we could move past it towards something rational.
Currently it's the best I can do. I'm a sub of this community, I fucking hate cars, hence, riding whenever possible as I don't have the option of public transit to cover my bases in my area. I've been the guy trying to keep riders conscious as they lay in the pavement, more than a few times. It's not a fond set of memories. And I really don't want to take a turn either.
