Don't understand some of the mentality here at all. I'm a cyclist, and I am fucking scared of cars. Not because I think they're full of rage against me, but because a car is a gigantic metal fucking tank and when I'm on a bike I am the exact same thing as a pedestrian moving at high speeds.
I see other cyclists challenging cars and rolling through lighted intersections and whatever, and it's like they don't realize if a car just yanks its wheel two inches to the right or they decide they've had a really bad day, you are dead. Fucking dead.
In my mind it's the same thing as challenging a goddamn grizzly bear. I'm just going to stay the fuck away, not kick it and try to make some statement about how grizzlies share the woods with me and we both have the right to be there.
