…besides general inattentiveness on the part of great numbers of drivers due to cell phones, etc, etc, etc…
…what most non-cyclists don’t understand is the fact that there are people out there who will actually challenge you w/ their vehicles…

…on monday, i roll up to a stop sign in the middle of town, actually stop (ya, i do it regularly) while staying clipped in, look directly into the eyes of the dude at the stop sign opposite me, start rolling & he then swings left, fast, in front of me while making sure not to look at me even when i called him out…i basically had to hit the brakes & do a mini trackstand in order to not get my front wheel clipped…

…& i guarantee you it was intentional…

A 27 year old male driver, driving a newer Honda Civic. Quote “There did not appear to be Alcohol involved” an unnamed RCMP officer. I suspect the “Kid” was screwing around on his cell phone or Berry. The road in that area is generally straight an relativly flat, you can pretty much see miles ahead, it’s got me stumped. It’s the same all over this provence, drivers are nuts, and have no clue.

Ok it’s real simple – there is no fucking reason for a passing car to hit a rider – paved shoulder or not. I call bullshit. And hang the mf’r by the balls or nipples, whatever the gender.

And my condolences to the family.

What a tragedy.

…another situation where honest people are trying to realize & share a dream & it horribly falls prey to both an uncaring public & the unconcerned public agencies not willing to take the initiative by imposing stiff enough penalties to make people concerned about what is a valid form of transportation…

…in other words: another fucked up scenario where cyclist’s lose their lives…
