More barriers to cycling means more cars which means more dead cyclists/pedestrians. Help us defeat this terrible anti-safety bill.

    For velocity you want kinetic energy .5(mass*V^2)

    That’s why braking distance scales exponentially with velocity. 30 vs 20 mph is over twice the energy at the same mass.
