"The slightest nudge from a passing motorist can KILL a cyclist..."

Not according to some of these studly armed anti motorvehicle nazis. If you even think of bumping their bike they will reach in their fannie-packs so fast, pull out a .357 and.... BLAM! Right between the headlights!

I'm rather sure that the reaction your refer to was made AFTER numerous "shoot em with a painball," "nudge him with my car" comments. What would you expect?

I had a friend killed in Akron/Cleveland area last year. He was left in the street to die like an animal .. and the few times I have hit an animal, I try to see if I can help/save it.

. He was a skilled cyclist & travelled the world (even yukky FRance) without a prior incident.

Every time we cyclists go out on the roads we know this might happen. But for me this is better than a cancer ward etc.

NOW I really am going to get out & bike it is supposed to snow here tonight !
