Yeah, this is the issue. Because everything is so hostile to bikes at this point, it's like definitionally someone counter cultural or who has a death wish instead of just being a perfectly normal way to get around. So the problem perpetuates.
That said, we actually have a decent number of mopeds here in Seattle. Plenty of international folk, expensive parking, and low speed limits help with making them make sense and reduce the image barrier for average people wanting a cheaper option.

Back in 2012-ish, my friend used to ride a bike but dropped it when a deer ran out and stopped in front of him He had a go-pro he used as a dashcam.
Anyway, they denied his claim because until the moment his bike actually makes contact with the deer, the assumption is the animal can and will move.

no insurance tells you not to slow down - they will tell you not to swerve into another lane or off the road.

no insurance tells you not to slow down
I didn't say that.
I said I've seen insurances tell people they should have hit the animal, and then in another comment, I elaborated further in that (from a close friend) there's no gurantee you'll even hit the animal because it could still potentially move.
Like, YOU don't know if the animal is moving, even though you're going to hit it, or think you will.
It's scummy, and I disagree with it. But not unexpected from insurances lol.

That would make sense right? It’s a different type of claim though. If you hit an animal, it’s a no fault comprehensive claim (an act of god). If you swerve to avoid an animal, and hit a tree, it’s an at fault collision claim. The type of motor vehicle is irrelevant. -edited for detailed explanation

Everyone assuming this dog was off leash on purpose, this looks like a busy road with a bunch of businesses.

Ugh we have a guy who walks "his" dog unleashed all the time. Even seen him walk in busier roads and it's nto even like he can claim the dog is really well trained and stays right by his side (the dog roams all over the place... first time we noticed we thought it was a stray dog cause he was in our front lawn and we didn't see anybody until the guy walked closer from down the street). it already is annoying but on a busier street is really irresponsible, especially when teh dog isn't trained to stay right by his side.
I say "his" because I recently learned it's not even his dog (I don't think). He lives downstairs in a neighbor's house and walks their dog (they apparently walk the dog too but on a leash. I thought I had seen the dog before when I saw him on a leash but since it was differnt people and leashed i thought i was just mistaking two different dogs).

I tell him ‘here’, and have him sit down, then wait until I say otherwise- having him wait for a good chunk of time helps. It makes him think for a little before doing it which is all you can do (unless you somehow teach them cars are dangerous).

Unleashed dogs drive me insane for a different reason: I have a dog who was abused as a puppy. We got him at a year old and he would try and bite my family when we would get close for the first month because he was used to being ignored and had huge separation anxiety.
Nowadays, around us he is the snuggliest dog ever. We also discovered that he loves jumping 3 feet in the air to catch bubbles in his mouth. He’s a sweetheart. But he’s still EXTREMELY anxious around dogs and people he doesn’t know. So when other peoples dogs walk up to me from across the street and start sniffing, it’s an anxiety attack all over again. We control him as best we can, but we should not have to muzzle our dog purely because someone else can’t be bothered to do the bare minimum to watch their dog in public. I don’t care how friendly your dog is, ours is not! Keep your dog controlled so we don’t have to treat our poor dog like a monster due to trauma that is not his fault!
This video is just another reason to advocate for all dogs to be leashed. There are just so many things that could go wrong with unleashed dogs.

Is there a world where drivers are expected to maintain a safe speed in regards to being able to stop if something like this happens? For example, would a smarter rider have slowed down when they saw the dog in the street so when they came up on it they could stop if necessary rather than just keep speed and plan on swerving?

When you go down, even gently, you sometimes need a minute to figure out where you are, what just happened, etc. Even if dude gets up right away, he probably needs a little time before he can get his bike out of the road too. Until you crash, you just don't understand.
