This has gotten beyond ridiculous.
I ride my bike. Sometimes I drive my car. I have even flown in small airplanes.
I live my life.
People who find life too terrifying are welcome not to participate.
People who tell others not to do what they themselves do in an effort to "win" an internet discussion ....
Best not tug on Superman's cape? I have a better idea ... you be intimidated by reality. I know that Superman is a comic-book figure. He doesn't have a cape which can be tugged.
Later folks ... going out to ride my bike ... like the rest of you all do ... and going to come back, like we almost always do.
Wake up and face reality ... or don't.
Not my problems, .... Your problems. I am more concerned with deciding which bike to ride over which route tonight. You guys huddle in the corners hiding from Superman. I have a life to live.
I stopped commuting a few years ago, and most of my cycling is now on paths and separated bike lanes... So I am hardly disproving my point... If I were to tour, it would not be in the US where motorists seem to have no respect for other road users. Others too have modified their behavior to ride in a more sane/safe manner... Our own Joey, for instance.
BTW the superman comment was a metaphor... do you understand metaphors, or did you skip that lesson in life too?
Good luck with your life... just don't come whining here that you can't seem to get hit by cars... as has obviously happened to others.
