In my experience, statements like these are racist dog whistles intended to suggest that a) the suspects are <members of some racial minority or other> and, b) the "liberal media" is conspiring to...

I rode to work for the first time this year. It was colder than I am used to riding in, but I wore pants and socks and a thermal layer and a balaclava to keep my ears warm and gloves and was quite...

I require a mirror because I'm entirely blind in my left eye and can't swivel my head far enough around to see behind me without one. I had a Mirrycle mounted on my bike last year, but I was never...

I set a new record on my commute to work this morning: I fell twice because of the clips. I'm definitely new to it and my mistakes so far have been due to thoughtlessness. I have combination pedals...

Classic blame the victim stance. It's not the person with road rage who is at fault, it's the cyclist's fault. They should have known that existing would cause road rage. They were asking for it....

I'm blind in my left eye, so I'm limited to handlebar mounted mirrors unless I want to see the pedestrians on the sidewalk I've passed. I suppose I could use a helmet mirror in one of those...
