Expecting people to not sabotage the rolling death machines "too high a bar"
I was just going to say that the roads are for humans, not machines, but this is a better idea.
I guess necessary bike safety gear needs to include a brick
I walk my dog with a pocket full of rocks to throw at cars.
Can’t afford bricks. There’s a war on.
Once you collect a poo bag from your dog, you can just throw that.
I actually have a small but bright orange hatchet (I spray it to help keep rust off it and also to make it super easy to spot from the other side of my campsite) I keep on my bag, mostly for Camping, but I use the same bag when I'm on my bike.
I've started keeping it on, and have seemingly had less people giving me shit when I'm biking through town.
Respect goes both ways.
People parking to drop others off or make deliveries is the most common use of bike lanes by cars/trucks. Why would I expect Waymo to be different? Thanks for saying it out loud, though?
And it's why bike lanes need a physical barrier separating them from the road, not just a painted line.
They don't respect bike lanes...
Do they respect bricks?
