    I do occasionally see a kamikaze cyclist while driving. But damn am I more afraid on bike.

    I don’t know if the drivers don’t see me from their phones or if they just don’t care even about their cars’ paint.

      Many drivers don’t even notice a semi truck near them, you think they will notice a bike?

      You have to remember, the average driver is a moron.

      The kamikaze cyclists give all of us a really bad time. I’m honestly surprised at how some people behave in traffic, knowing that they’re an unprotected meat bag moving at speeds far higher than what the human body is built for.

        Just yesterday I watched a teenager biking the wrong way on a 40mph road in the bike lane. They must’ve just learned how to ride because they were wobbling and swerving so far out of the lane that I was worried they’d smash into oncoming traffic.

        Luckily it was a 4 lane road so cars could move over, but yeeeesh the kid had a death wish.
