    You can break bones falling off even a stationary bike, yes, it matters. People step out in front of you at walking speed wearing headphones and cause crashes that result in not so minor injuries - especially if you’re transferring your momentum into the pedestrian and their head hits the concrete. That’s without even considering damage to bikes and equipment. Helmets need replacing after a single impact.

    You’re out of your mind if you think bikes are only really ridden by toddlers? And even then, what a great experience for toddlers to have preventable crashes















  • If you want a real answer it’s likely mostly because humans only recently became “civilised” as far as our evolutionary past is concerned.

    For our entire history before that, it has been evolutionarily advantageous to breed as early as biologically possible.

    These genetics still exist and having attraction to minors still haunts humanity. Some studies show very large numbers of adults, in the realm of 10-25% of the population, are attracted to minors. Usually the definition is below the age of consent in the country of the study.

    Almost all of these people understand it’s wrong and do not pursue these unwanted feelings. When people have overlaps between psychopathy, trauma or other conditions and the attraction to minors they often become offenders.
