General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Yesterday I saw something I have never seen before. [View all]How do you know that? Have you talked to them? Yes, there are people that would feel fear, just like there were people would feel fear at seeing their first car or person riding a bike. No one doing anything has control over the fearful reactions of other people, how absurd to even say that. Yeah, people can mess up and make mistakes. That guy riding the ten speed on the sidewalk can mess up and hit you. That woman driving a car by you can mess up and hit you. The difference is these people are pretty much experts at what they are doing. They have put so many hours each day into doing this that the level of expertise is outstanding. Ive had somewhere near 30 of them ride straight towards me and I just kept walking straight, they all missed me. Is it unsettling when they do it? Yes, just like it was when you first watched cars drive past you when you were a kid. You have no idea that they are enjoying the intimidation and fear they cause, you are just projecting that because that is what you are experiencing. Talk to them before you judge them. Be a progressive.
