Too many driver's aids on today's bikes and cars! I think it allows more stupid and unskilled people on road. Whereas in previous decades, they wouldn't even have tried or would've been killed off early.
I managed bike-shop in Santa Barbara for couple years. Lady comes in and demands to buy top-of-line hybrid bike. We sell her one and off she goes. A couple weeks later, her husband comes back with bike and asks for refund. Apparently, she was riding down their street and cat runs across road. She slams on her brakes (just like on her SUV), flies over bar, smashes her face and breaks off lots of teeth!!!
Ahh... good 'ol days... I miss silk sew-ups.
