So what the hell is the difference here?<br /><br />Oh, wait, we&#39;re on bikes so it&#39;s okay for people to kill us. Hell of a messed up world.<br /><br />With this sort of bike-bashing being culturally accepted, it really is only a matter of time until some cyclist hit by a driver snaps and beats the driver&#39;s face in.<br /><br />And when it happens I am going to cheer. Why? Because violence begets violence, maybe if someone made that point to these ignorant bigots in cars they&#39;d back the *** off!loneriderhttp://www.angelfire.com/blog/bicyclerider/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10032227.post-20870319144374599532010-01-09T11:33:03.080-05:002010-01-09T11:33:03.080-05:00Agreed Mike, incitement is not the answer - education is the best approach. If drivers can understand and respect the needs of cyclists and cyclists can understand and respect the needs of drivers, we would be better off.James D.

Incitement is not a good idea, esp considering the relative weight of bikes and cars. <br /><br />I&#39;m big on sit-up bikes because I think they help create a new dialogue with other traffic, a friendlier one.

These people are harmless.<br /><br />It&#39;s like violent video games. Video game players aren&#39;t murderers in real life, just in their little fantasy world.<br /><br />Luckily though, it can be used as evidence if they end up charged with dangerous driving.zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02486808945912681657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10032227.post-40199074930561483912010-01-03T15:23:01.378-05:002010-01-03T15:23:01.378-05:00At the bottom left of the page, there is a link called &quot;Report Page&quot;. Use it.
