As stated in my previous post Senator Klein cursed the right cyclist not the wrong one. Because noimpactman is right on every conceivable level.
He was "self-absorbed" by riding in the blind spot of a car, expecting the driver -- state senator or not -- to easily see him, then complaining when he didn't.
So, no, he was not "right on every conceivable level". If he hadn't been cruising in a car's blind spot in the first place, there wouldn't even have been an incident for him to write about.
If he was so "full of concern FOR himself", he would not have put himself in such a precarious position.
