The dark part of the year is fast approaching and it is time to go full commando mode. It will be easier to get hit by cars but at the same time it will be easier to retaliate and hide away in the woods. Remember to not carry any reflective wear, no lights , no reflectors on your pedals. You see them , they don't see you.
After going for the full autumn riding kit of reflective clothing, super blinky lights, nite riders, wheel reflector and so forth I will go the opposite direction. I can spot a fuckin;' rider with a rear blinky about 2 miles down the road. Why can't normal civilians see you? Are they blind people with drivers licenses? So to all those people out there beware that cyclists are still out there. Here are some key recomendations to all drivers.
1) Remove head from ass.
2) Put cell phone away
3) Stop eating and watch where you are going
3) Get your fucking dog off you damn lap
4) Stop watching movies while you drive
5) Read the paper at work or at home, not while you drive
6) Stop text messaging, you need at least one hand to operate vehicle.
7) You car does not drive itself, yet.
8) If you tag a cyclist be kind and stop. He might be hurt.
Keep riding all the time,
Ari
good list!
