Come out and claim the road [1]

We have built city roads only for cars to move. Cars rule the road

I write this column from my bed, recovering from an accident that broke my bones. I was hit by a speeding car while cycling. The driver fled the scene of the accident in the car, leaving me bleeding on the road. This is what happens again and again, in every city of our country, on every road - as we plan without care for the safety of pedestrians and cyclists.
