I'll get downvoted and told I'm an idiot and whatever else, but I just ride on the sidewalk and it takes all the issues away. It's a million times better to me, and when I'm in a car I fucking hate cyclists in the road. You guys can keep putting your lives on the line if that's what makes you feel good, I guess.
We need a change in our culture. Selfish, foolish impatience, drivers insisting they OwN tHe RoAd is exactly what's killing pedestians and cyclists. You can get where youre going fast enough, but it's never enough. Fuck that noise, bunch of drunkards ( be it on alcohol or arrogance)
We all know there's no non-hostile way to interact with others when youre behind the wheel. Its just the nature of such a heavy vehicle traveling at speeds to where collision destroys the human body. Business men made it this way, and big business never cared about you or me.
