Not a Dickman, just a shape
I was biking I. The middle today, managing to keep pace which is nice

Had my pant cuff rip my chain guard up and out and had to manage not cutting my foot open, and not getting run over, and indicating to get off the road

Was a bit hectic but managed

I really like wearing a mirror and taking the lane. The EVT mirrors in particular are awesome due to durability and flexibility. Seems dorkish but so do those ankle straps and look what happened to the poster above me

Don't disagree one bit

Chain guard was poorly shaped sheet metal,

I need to get myself a couple hi vis vests and keep them on my bike too

Those helmet mirror things look nifty, I should get/make one up

it's the safest place to be, with one catch... which is that you never know if the driver behind you is the one in 20 or so who will be driven completely insane with anger by it. but hey, your other option is to bike on the side and have some dipshit clip you as he goes for a blatantly illegal pass

the latter happened to me two weeks ago. i didn't crash but it was a pretty close run thing. my shoulders got all wrenched around too and they're finally feeling back to normal. ban cars imo.

Trucker illegally drives through city streets and manages to take down a bunch of car ticklers before beaching themselves on a concrete bike lane barrier. Remains to be seen whether the lesson learned by the local DOT is "wow, if we didn't have the barrier, someone could have been killed! Let's add more" or "every damaged vehicle and inconvenienced dangerous driver is a tragedy. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"

You'd think it would be a no brainer, but the latter is fairly common if enough drivers complain to the right people about damaging their vehicles through dangerous driving.

Sliding down the sidewalks to the grocery store and I start imagining a world with some sort of city service, paid for with taxes, that stocked supplies and went around clearing rights of way after snowstorms.

yeah, nothing subtle about the value system that ensures enormous efforts are made to clear roads after snowstorms, while pedestrians get a ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

all you need is one person not shoveling their patch of sidewalk - because this, of course, is a personal responsibility, unlike the roads - and you get the snow melting into ice and then sticking there for weeks

Status update: not dead.

Although one car did try to overtake us to get to a turning lane before a set of traffic lights, but failed and ended up awkwardly sitting half-between two lanes until the lights changed, because heavens forbid he have to drive at slightly under his maximum possible speed for 30m before getting to a red traffic light in order to stay within the lane...

Yikes. So you realize that if a car get's their catalytic converter stolen that now the cr is just even more polluting and doesn't in anyway disable the car or prevent it from begin driven right?

If you steal a catalytic converter you are the lowest of the low. If you steal the catalytic converter and then torch the car/kill the owner, then and only then, is it a good thing.

Cars are no joking matter and this, being cspam, individual action is encouraged. But the action should be worthwhile (destroying cars) and not selfish while propagating the very thing we are trying to fight against.
