I feel uniquely lucky to live in a spot where my work and all amenities are within 15min of cycling. Catch my ass absolutely beaming on my bike as I cruise leisurely down the path.
Every experience I have with drivers makes me more
Sidenote, I want to carry something for when cagers attempt to murder me, any thoughts? I was thinking a pouch with paintballs I could throw, idfk
The good ol' U-lock, mayhaps. I really wish the term cager was floating around a decade ago, because it really is apt for ablebodied folks that can't even fathom walking an extra block instead of hopping in your car for each individual errand. I used to get shit for biking to work by people driving half my distance on an expired license.
I should really upgrade my lock, now that you mention it.
The cager phenomenon is really sad. It truly is scary to be amongst the cars when when you aren't in one yourself - you are literally putting your life in their jacked up, oversized, smoking, texting, hands.
Not to mention the ones who intentionally fuck with you.
But then again, most will hop in the Tahoe (my sworn enemy) even when there's a perfectly good path for them to take to the spot 1km away
