The cathedral of St John does an annual “blessing of the bicycles”, where they read out the names of the people killed riding bikes in nyc that year. When I went it was like 90% Hispanic names, because yeah, most of the miles and therefore most of the risk is borne by delivery people. They don’t make national press.
