It kinda makes sense that JORR would be one of those cycling rage machines.

The rage machines are the impatient turds in automobiles who tailgate at 90 mph every morning.

There's a mental and emotional defect that motorists have when they see a cyclist on the road. For example, if you're behind a school bus going 20 mph, you may be slightly annoyed but the veins in your neck don't pop out and you don't start raging as if you're insane the way they do when you're behind me going 20 on my bike.

I love that despite all our differences here, we all (except one ) can come together over our common hate of bicyclists.

Lost in all this is that a 300 lb 7’6” dude was riding a bike. A preposterous visual.

If we put a few more people on bikes I promise you’d see those COVID fatalities fall off a cliff. Fatties dying like you read about.

It's not an Illinois statute but it is clearly the defacto law in the Chicago area.

In any case, there's this popular assumption that the automobile is the default and it just isn't the case. That's why people are shocked when a cyclist rides on the Interstate but they shrug off the Amazon van parked in the bike lane.

Are you riding your bike on the interstate?

You look silly when you rail on motorists for breaking the law and then admit you don't follow the law on your bike.

The difference is I'm not operating a 3000 lb. death machine.

That's a persuasive argument to get rid of bikes on roadways with cars though.

Stretching the definition of the word “persuasive” to its absolute limits

Is that what’s happening? No driver has ever been responsible for inuring a cyclist?

There’s a big old IF right at the start there.

JORR's point is that both cyclists and car drivers are constantly breaking the law

JORR's point is that both cyclists and car drivers are constantly breaking the law but the difference is the bicyclist is in a more vulnerable position based on weight differences between the two.

If bicyclists are constantly breaking the law around 3000 lb. death machines and getting hurt/killed isn't the logical solution to separate them from the 3000 lb. death machines?
