      I have no idea how a few of those are possible. Newspapers? Radio? Bikes?

      It’s hard to guess. I suppose there are a sizeable number of drivers that really hate cyclists. Maybe some people hate newspapers/radio because they hate all media?

        Those three things together read for me a parent that wants to control their child. Newspapers and radio bring information and ideas that the parent didn’t introduce. Bicycles bring transportation and exposure to more of your city, which introduces ideas the parents don’t control.

      10% is within the normal bounds of “assholes who reliably pick the worst answers on a survey”. I would not think too hard about it.

      Fatal bicycle accidents, I assume. The one tripping me up is radio. Of all things

        Could be weirdos who thought bicycles give their kids too much freedom. When they were first popularized that was a complaint especially of parochial village elders. They helped young people experience the world and leave the village. Particularly young women.

      Probably the same parents that don’t force their kids to wear helmets. Dorks don’t get brain damage.
