So the police and state must suddenly take on this effort? At what cost? Where do the police resources come from? Even then, what if the cyclist still can't afford it? They have to walk? Do they need insurance if they are late and have to run, maybe jay-walk a couple times?

A working bicycle can be found for under $50 in even the most expensive cities, have $0 in operating costs, and will last for decades. There are likely no other personal transportation options which offer that.

Get out of our bubble. Some people have $0 and literally can't afford anything in their budget or to plan more than a few weeks ahead... They can't account for unknown events, and frankly don't need to worry about going bankrupt because of an accident.

Poverty is fucked up.
