Nevertheless, it's an odd ethical framework that demands the most care from the people who are the most vulnerable, and who can do the least harm from their carelessness.johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09690430991814528863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9560953.post-67103254217255222812009-05-28T17:04:20.255-04:002009-05-28T17:04:20.255-04:00That's not surprising.

I constantly see them cutting people off, demanding the right of way in traffic.<br />You make your choice about what transportation you take. And the fact of the matter is that your not going to win a fight with a 2000lb vehicle, no matter whose fault it is. That is a risk you take when you get on a bike and use the same roads as a car.<br />Human stupidity is more prevalent on the roads than anywhere else, and is the only constant in this universe.<br />But I think bikers should assume responsibility for the risks they take when biking, and stop blaming everyone else for the choice they make. <br />If everyone rode bikes it would be different. But not everyone does, and you chose to be vulnerable on the road, no one forces you. <br />So take some responsibility and realize its YOUR choice and you don't have to risk your life biking to work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
