If my highlighting that behavior online makes me a whiny bitch, so be it. <BR/>I'd rather be a whiny bitch and potentially prevent this driver from putting others at risk in the future than remain silent and let him do it again with possible tragic consequences.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07162251254976949286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6597030563844330141.post-12649234921306505572009-03-17T05:21:00.000-07:002009-03-17T05:21:00.000-07:00Yes, a lot of car-drivers don´t leave enough space...Yes, a lot of car-drivers don´t leave enough space between bicycles while passing by. But in this particular video everything seems to be fine to me. There are way more dangerous situations.Geisterbahnbesitzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04918422512874454984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6597030563844330141.post-36458792046016363832009-03-16T04:54:00.000-07:002009-03-16T04:54:00.000-07:00Geisterbahnbesitzer, How do I sound like a "whiny ...Geisterbahnbesitzer, <BR/><BR/>How do I sound like a "whiny bitch"? <BR/>If you appreciate my effort, how should I continue that effort? <BR/><BR/>My whole "effort" is speaking out about idiot drivers who endanger cyclists. This guy endangered me AND the car in the oncoming lane. <BR/><BR/>What is wrong with speaking out about his actions and telling the authorities about it? <BR/>If the two cars had hit head on right next to me don't you think I would have been injured in the resulting crash? If there had actually been a crash would I still sound like a "whiny bitch"? I'm really interested in the answers to these questions. My goal in doing what I do on this site is to change the behavior of bad drivers, and if there is a better way to do that I'm all for it. <BR/>Bikesafer<BR/>JeffJeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07162251254976949286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6597030563844330141.post-89609536808156651402009-03-15T23:14:00.000-07:002009-03-15T23:14:00.000-07:00I appreciate your effort, but now you sound like a...I appreciate your effort, but now you sound like a whiny bitch.<BR/><BR/>I´m an avid rider myself, so I know what is going on on the streets.Geisterbahnbesitzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04918422512874454984noreply@blogger.com
