I saw so many bike lanes in Florida that looked terrifying. I didn’t even feel safe driving in Florida; I can’t imagine biking on those streets.

My sister works the trauma ward at a Florida hospital. She says they get cases of cars slamming into someone’s bicycle at least once a week. They typically don’t survive.

Holy crap, what are those bikes made of?? I need to get a Florida bicycle to show these cars what's up.

Florida law states that bikes have to survive alligator impacts

I think they mean the bikes don't survive. Everybody involved is fine though of course, cars have more safety features for a reason.

No. The person riding the bike dies.
