This is truly a galaxy brain argument: there’s no risk to the rider because they die

Hey, if you're swerving into another lane, you're being a bad driver. Full stop. 

You sound exactly like this ER doctor’s rant, shortly before he took on two cyclists resulting in their injuries. I helped convict him. He got FIVE YEARS in prison for your attitude...

And joggers, man, they can appear out of now where and push you to the ground. And if they have a dog, the dog can rip you to shreds.

Not sure this makes it a red herring, though you’re both correct.

Honestly, this is the first time I’ve heard the suggestion and I like it.

Yeah dude, you really are the wounded party here

Cyclists are not out to prove a point to you. Folks forget that the vast majority of cyclists also drive. We fully understand things from the driver’s perspective. We live it.

Bikers get grumpy with them because they (drivers) only follow the laws of traffic when it suits them. Run a red light or stop sign, no problem i’m in a car i can do it. Cross multiple lanes of traffic at once, “it’s ok i’m in a car”. Switch lanes without signaling, park in a bike lane, open the door with out looking,…

I’ve been a commuting cyclist in Chicago for over a decade. I’ve been hit a few times and had 2-3x as many close calls. I pass ghost bikes (white-painted memorials for cyclists murdered on the city’s streets) daily and it never gets any less haunting. What makes me ache even more about every preventable death…

I hear this argument all the time, and there is absolutely no data to back it up. “Idaho stops” have been shown to be not only safer, but more efficient. I’m not going to deny that there are some stupid fucking cyclists out there (the neon-lit pedicab that ran a red light last night to get on the Edens Expressway for…

All street parking, especially in downtown cores, should be removed. It occupies wasted space that causes more traffic problems than it solves “This unused lane of traffic, oh shit a parked car, now i have to try and get out” “this is a nice drive. OH SHIT *swerves* as someone who parked on the street just opened…

what's your point?

One thing I hate about writers is when they write something that causes a swift and broad backlash, and their defense is “You misunderstood what I meant,” as if that is a valid defense for a person whose job it is to convey ideas to third-parties via the written word. I write for a living, and if someone who is…

I’m sure if you ask they’d develop a version for Americans; designed to get bogged down in the first patch of sand it tries to drive across, and stay there forever.

yeah, this policy is absolutely designed and calculated to hurt the worker. people take fewer days.\

“You mean I have unlimited vacation days? That’s amazing!”

Imagine Andy Reid strutting around the sidelines looking like this:

If you look at Boeing’s BoD, the chairman is the CEO, and the only one with aerospace experience. The others are politicians (Nikki Haley and Caroline Kennedy), execs from other non-related businesses, retired generals/admirals. It seems to me most BoD members are looking for a nice pay for very little work in their…

And just like modern BMWs, they are stuck in the shop with broken sensors that are waiting to be fixed by the manufacturer after being forced to admit they fucked up.
