I have nothing against bicycles, but some of the most arrogant people I know are bicycle proponents. Who just don't seem to understand that not everyone can safely ride one. YA' KNOW?

Lauren Weinstein (lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org)'s status on Monday, 18-Mar-2024 06:59:14 JST Lauren Weinstein @KevinMarks I see people on bicycles blow through red lights and stop signs here in L.A. as if they're nothing. Cars slam on brakes to avoid hitting them and you know what the bicycle riders do? Give them the finger and/or bang on their hoods. What swell people.
