Just. Once.
I'm not holding my breath.
And I knew the lying ___ bike haters would show up here. They ALWAYS do, lying about how horrible cyclists are and how dangerous we are and how we should be banned from the roads.
Well listen up, kiddies. It ain't the bicyclists who commit daily fatal hit-and-runs all over this city. And it ain't the cyclists who wind up in high speed chases that end in multiple fatalities. On that rare occasion when a bike runs a light or stop sign and there is actually a car in their path, it's not the car that gets destroyed and its occupants killed.
WE aren't the problem. Millions upon millions of rude, dangerous, self-centered or drunk drivers are.
