Those are not mutually exclusive. Like it or not, our system is premised on enforcing reasonable safety standards by giving lawyers strong financial incentives to go after violations of those standards when injury results,

I actually think the best evidence that the "safety" aspects of this campaign are a bunch of hooey is the obvious absence of any organized bar handling defective bike claims. Relatively healthy adults and children getting killed or maimed by a mechanical failure would be the tort attorney's dream client, with huge monetary damages claims.
