>>958355It's only because it's how we HAVE to be.
What pisses me off is how one-sided it is. Cagers (And for you autists, I mean cagers, 'not all motorists') throw shit, see how close they can get, hit you, ignore you, pull all kind of dangerous maneuvers, don't care to know the laws or rights of cyclists; what do cyclists do? Exist?
Maybe they annoyed you for five seconds? And they were probably in their rights doing so.
It's a culturally ingrained thing and I think it's going to be damn near impossible to change now.
Even those who aren't raging cagers usually side with the car-side.
>>958252Honestly, no, not with the state of things.
Especially if it's the weekend, I won't ride with lights, and I'll ride in darker clothing.
Cyclists are borderline sought-out. Dipshits driving around looking for someone to both.
At the very best, you have drunks see your lights and they get fixed on ya.
