>Rarely, I'll see someone jogging or cycling on H as well, fuck those people too.

Yeah, fuck those people! Going out in their neighborhood to get some fresh air and exercise, the nerve of them! Don't they know SUV rights come first?

Lol neighborhood. It's a 2 lane highway, no shoulder and a 55mph speed limit. The farm roads are iffy, but H highway is suicide for pedestrians. I get it, r/fuckcars and all that, but people have to get to work from rural areas somehow.

Yeah, I used to live on a 2-lane rural highway. I know what they're like.

I get it, but people have a right to leave their house and exercise where they live. Cursing at them and blaming them for the poor infrastructure is nonsensical. They're not any more responsible for the lack of sidewalks or road shoulder than you.

Dealing with other kinds of traffic--whether that's car, pedestrian, cyclist, horses, or tractors is part of life and part of using the transportation system. Hating everyone who uses a different means of transport than you because it mildly inconveniences you is beyond childish and selfish.

Jogging and cycling on the road is literally what it's there for, when sidewalks and cycling paths don't exist alongside.

It's not suicide for them, it's homicide when someone kills them because it was just too darn inconvenient to drive in a way thats safe for all forms of traffic and arrive home 5 minutes later.
