Bike Busters

Cyclists take heed:

You can like your bike. You can ride your bike. And I'm happy, honestly, that you are out there getting exercise. But get out of the middle of the damn road. The streets of America were designed for cars. I like to run long distance, but you won't catch me running in the middle of the street. I stay on the sidewalk and, if there is no sidewalk, I hug the curb as closely as possible. Or...here's a thought...I just don't run down that particular road if it's too unsafe. The most basic instinct of self-preservation dictates that I don't run down the middle of the street in traffic. Nor do I have the "right" to do so, as so many bicyclists claim. Every year, you get worse. You take up entire lanes, you disobey the traffic laws you expect cars to follow, you weave into traffic sporadically and without warning, and you force every car stuck behind you to travel at your speed. And when we call you out on it, you respond like the most entitled, privileged, butthurt little princesses this side of Dylan Mulvaney.

Stay in your own lanes...
