Conservative Bike Simulator

Ride Bloor Street with and without a protected bike lane, and see who gets blamed when a car hits you.

About

Conservative Bike Simulator puts you on a bike on an abstracted stretch of Bloor Street in Toronto. You always move forward; your only controls are steering and a brake. Choose a protected bike lane, with a physical divider between you and traffic, or the no-bike-lane street, where cars stop, change lanes and park in your way, and doors open without warning.

The protected lane is calm. The mixed street is not: you thread between cars, brake for doors and hope everyone sees you. If you get hit by a door, the game says so. If a car hits you, the game does what the debate often does and asks what you did wrong: Were your lights on? Did you wear hi-viz?

It is all about bike lane politics in Ontario, not a simulation, but the street layout is real enough to make the point: separated infrastructure removes most of the danger before any rider has to be perfect.
