You can break bones falling off even a stationary bike, yes, it matters. People step out in front of you at walking speed wearing headphones and cause crashes that result in not so minor injuries - especially if you’re transferring your momentum into the pedestrian and their head hits the concrete. That’s without even considering damage to bikes and equipment. Helmets need replacing after a single impact.
You’re out of your mind if you think bikes are only really ridden by toddlers? And even then, what a great experience for toddlers to have preventable crashes
I never said bikes in general are ridden by toddlers, just push bikes. They don’t tend to have the strength to push very hard. Also doubt they’d be ringing a bell for anything other than to hear it themselves anyway
Bell?
Push bikes have bells that you use to ding people when you’re coming up behind them to let them know you’re coming
Would someone needing a push bike even be going fast enough for it to matter? I’d think it’d mostly be toddlers riding them.

A push bike is a term used interchangeably with non-electric bicycles here, I was not aware they’re something else wherever you live
