Also fuck city planners and residents who refuse to create routes for cyclists and pedestrians that are meaningfully separated from car routes.

Fuck car drivers.

fuck cars

I used to ride road and that exact stretch was one of the final road rides I did before I made the judgement call that riding road was just too sketch. What a tragic and preventable loss.

I don't know if it's increased since covid but people seem to have shifted from anti cycle to outright openly hostile towards cyclists, at least where I live. I can't count the number of incidents I've had this year alone where I've had to swerve to avoid someone angrily forcing their way into a bicycle lane, running lights or going out of turn in a four way stop, or just intentionally grazing me because fuck bicycles apparently

Why would anyone ride on the diagonal? It's a death trap... There's so many better ways to go.

What a shame, we can share the road.

Riding a bike on the road is dangerous. Maybe it shouldn't be, but it is. Per the CDC you are more than twice as likely to be killed on any given trip wile riding a bike over a car. Motorcyclists are are over 4 times as likely to die in a crash then bicyclists

If he was crazy enough to ride a bike on an American road...
