I hope this is meant ironically.

Cars regularly mount pavements/sidewalks as well, and kill pedestrians who are not even in the road.

The correct response to "cars make cities unsafe for everyone" is of course to ban all but the most essential cars from cities. It is not to suggest that the _other_ forms of transport (including walking on the pavement/sidewalk!) are so unsafe as to be irresponsible, in the presence of cars.

Great. But that doesn't help today. And today people are having their kids ride with them on their bikes.
