This is why I never bicycle on a public road. Bike paths are bad enough.

I stick to bike paths too. I also know several long time motorcyclists who stopped riding because of distracted and DUI drivers.

Yeah, I used to ride my bike on the road quite a bit. I eventually decided the risk wasn't worth it. Treadmill for me now.

“This is why I never bicycle on a public road. Bike paths are bad enough.”

I’ve read that an estimated one in ten people have some amount of sociopathy. They have little or no empathy for others. It’s theorized that this trait has some survival advantage. A sociopath is willing to drink up all the remaining water in a lifeboat. Or he’ll be the one to easily kill raiders attacking his village. Non-sociopaths may be willing to assist in violence once it’s initiated, but they almost never initiate the violence to protect the village themselves. In today’s world, unless you’re a soldier there’s little or no use for a sociopath. In today’s context they’re bad. An inordinate number of successful CEO’s would score high on the sociopath spectrum. This guy is probably also high on that spectrum.

Can’t post the comment I really want to make, because as a cyclist on FR, I’ll get flamed to the rafters. Waiting for the usual suspects to show up, once they realize the victims were cycling when they were killed. They’ll be blamed for their own deaths, then called names, like spandex-wearing faggots in tight pants or something.
