I try to be a good careful driver but when it's pitch dark out and you're riding your bike in black clothes with no reflective lights anywhere it really enrages me. I don't actually want to kill you but when the only reason I even notice you is a little glint of light coming off your wheels give me a break. I'm not speeding recklessly either but I've seen squirrels dart across the street more carefully than some of these people.

Bikers in this subreddit: "How dare you say that bikers could do anything on their own to be safer!"

Just last week, I had a biker run a red light as I turning. Would have hit them if I hadn't hit the breaks. But most fuck cars people would blame me for that.
