🚘 🧠 mentality

Of course it’s Huntington Beach, ugh.

Almost 20 years ago Clear Channel radio came under fire because a pair of their syndicated talk show hosts encouraged their listeners to go out and take a baseball bat to a bicyclist. I’m an avid cyclist and I’ve dealt with a fortunately small number of assholes that are susceptible to this kind of suggestion. One guy yelled “fuck Joe Biden”; another guy yelled “you’re gonna get somebody killed!” after another driver went slightly into the opposite lane to pass me.

I think it’s a tossup as to whether I’ll eventually be killed by one of these bike-hostile morons or by somebody looking at their phone while driving.
