Bike Safety

While riding you always have to suffer the indignities of what our society now refers to as the white trash.

These are the people that throw bottles, insults and skim their mirrors so close to your head or shoulder that unless you have a strong sphincter you end up with poop in your shorts.

These are the people that I would throw 8 rounds of hollow point 9mm ammo at if you could draw a bead on them while attempting to stay upright on the bike.

None the less the point of this is people: People on Bikes are Human! No No its true they are.

So the next time you speed past somebody on a bike, cause you have to get your Double Fat Latte at the nearest Starbucks. Consider the consequence of clipping that rider and killing him / her.

In a society of impatience, a society where people text message while driving (oh the stupidity) It really makes cycling a dangerous sport. So for you drivers here are some tips.

1. Remember that you're in a two ton vehicle, if you even tap the cyclist you will probably kill them!
2. Give them Room. If you see oncoming traffic wait to pass the cyclist. Don't try and squeeze between them and the oncoming traffic (dipshits)
3. Treat cyclist as vehicles. They have the same right of way as a car does.
4. Don't pass a cyclist just to turn in front of them

Bottom line is to slow down, give them room, and treat them like a car. (or horse and buggy if your in Lancaster)

Also think of your friends who ride, think about what it would be like if you killed them cause you were in a hurry, or because you weren't paying attention because your cell phone was so far up your ear that it was blocking blood flow to your brain. (And on that note, get a god damn blue tooth head set!!)

Remember when you see a person on a bike, think of your friends who ride!
