So I am walking in to work with my bike when one of my co-workers says....
him-"oh are you one of those guys who rides all over the f****ing road"
me-"well, I do pay my taxes, so I have a right to them"
him-"so howabout unless you want to be roadkill you stay on the sidewalks"
me-"well its illegal for one thing and-"
him-"cause I'll f****ing run you down wilson, just like that dude from last week"
All this was said with a dead serious attitude.
The dude he is referring to is a 68 year old man who was killed by some woman who couldn't keep out of one of our 10 bike lanes in hawaii ,going 92 mph in her truck with her 2 year old onboard. I don't really care about the death threat since he isn't ballsy enough to do such a thing, but that is jacked up to say someone deserved to die since he rides a bike.
And the worst part is, the guy is a E-4 in the military, one of my superiors who is supposed to be the responsible leader.
