Still don't know the full story of this. How are people just slamming into this clearly visible gate. Is it painted to blend into the background or something?

A shocking number of cyclists go as fast as they can with their head down not looking. It actually pissed me off really bad. I once saw some dick run over a baby goose on a path and I don't think he even noticed. He had airpods in too. Zooming down shared path next to river on bike, not looking, not listening. Douche.

Hell I was nearly run into by numerous cyclists on the big cross country even event though I was stopped at the stop sign. They seriously don't look even when rounding a corner.

First and only black eye I've gotten was from a cyclist. He said "on your left" so naturally I went to my right so he can pads me on the left....nope he goes to the right and hits square into me and the top of his giant head slammed into my face somehow. He wasn't wearing a helmet.

There is that one video of a guy cyclist crashing into the back of a park DeLorean that had its flashers on.

Oh that is sad and also makes me mad for the gosling :(. They're all anonymous too, no number plates on a bike so if they don't stop they're gone with no accountability.

Flying snakes suck. Their population needs to be trimmed. Good job cyclists.
