bicyclists_need_to_stay_on_sidewalk (http://www.statenews.com/index.php/article/2009/04/bicyclists_need_to_stay_on_sidewalk)

I like this particular portion, where he basically admits to driving in a reckless manner.


For example, I was driving to work Tuesday when a bicyclist pulled up in front of my car in the right lane on Farm Lane going northbound where it intersects with Shaw Lane. There is no bike path at this portion of the road, and I needed to be in the right lane to avoid the left turn only lane, but the bicyclist was in the way.

Instead, I had to speed ahead and veer away from the fast-approaching rear end of the car in front of me, just barely making it into the right lane.

It's hard to get that outraged. Judging from the comments on the web page, I doubt that the back seat of his 2001 Saturn is going to be seeing any action any time soon.

One comment really stands out --
Uh .. Z .. there are things called “facts” that journalists are supposed to be concerned about .. so —

Biking Regulations on Campus

“ .. Since bicycles aren’t legally allowed to ride sidewalks on campus ..”

...

Facts. They’re hard.

I read this as a feeble attempt at satire, altho' it seems that subtlety in execution is not his strong point

Very bad satire.
