The cycling risk / reward trade-off

Dan Cullum · Feb 21, 2024 ·

When riding around London, you’ll inevitably have a few close calls—with pedestrians, other cyclists, or vehicles. It’s a city with unforgiving roads and impatient travellers.

Over the past year, I’ve had the feeling that it was not a matter of if, but rather a matter of when, an accident would happen.

I didn’t like that feeling. So I’ve decided to sell my bike. I no longer feel the risk / reward trade-off is worth it. I accept some inconvenience going forward, but the peace of mind is worth more.
