If a driver doesn't want you on their ride, it's not gonna be because you are costing them gas money (as high as gas prices are these days), it gonna be because they either just don't want you to fuking touch their car, or because they're scared they're gonna hurt you (in which case they really know that an accident wouldn't be their fault, and should know that when they dodge you, they're prob just being more dangerous).

respect is an important question, but as a cyclist, you should know that while there are drivers that try to be very respectful of cyclists, the infrastructure ( that of roads, that of driving mindsets, AND our society) is not built to have respect for that which is not corporate and of the modern capitalist industrial machine. If we don't realize that, and that our lifestyles often are forced to revolve around that, then we are being naive.

on a personal level, anyone has a right to be mad about whatever someone does to their car, whatever the reason...whether it be the $00.02 a cyclist might cost them in gas going up a long steep hill, or simply that another crazy cyclist is pissing them the fuk off

some people say...so, the fuk what...I might as well catch a boost anyways, the big boxes are costing the earth as it is...

just like if you put your car on the street, someone is liable to sit on the muhfuker

no hypocrisy on this note
