There are many freepers who believe, truly believe, hitting cyclists would be okay.
And you can prove that slander, of course.
not all of them.
Just the ones who don’t seem to think that traffic signs and right-of-ways apply to them.
Bicycles are dangerous when the cyclist mixes with traffic, and assumes that he is seen.
Take a basketball, and a tennis ball hold them together with the tennis ball on top, and drop them together from about shoulder height. The momentum of the basketball is transferred nearly elastically to the tennis ball. The tennis ball takes off.
Of course when (not if) car strikes cyclist, the collision is not elastic, rather it deforms the cyclist a lot, and in a painful way. Cyclists should be very careful, as they are at risk of death. Drivers should be very careful, as they could kill a loved one, a friend.
I am one of them.
After all, I'd hit it.
I’m an avid cyclist, and frankly there are large swaths of this group that are so arrogant, so pathetically entitled to the road in their own minds at times, we could stand to lose some of them........
“There are many freepers who believe, truly believe, hitting cyclists would be okay.”
Do you mean it isn’t ok?
There are many freepers who believe, truly believe, hitting cyclists would be okay.
...I agree with this...and there are many drivers here in southcentral Pennsylvania who would agree also...
