cyrreblogs:mekahmagick:kristen-the-rageful:l0kasenna:lunarobverse:A brilliant metaphor6. Cycle lanes are built just for you, and then the cars drive in those too.7. And you can’t go out at night because cars will run right over you.8. You better watch out for the drunk ones9. Even if you DO use the cycle lane because it is “Safer for you” A lot of times there are obstacles and other things in the way to make it more difficult to navigate.10. Sometimes cars will honk or swerve at you for their entertainment and the drivers will laugh when you react defensively, because they’re safe in their car and don’t realize how dangerous that looks to you on your bike. 11. Some places have much better cycling lanes than others, which is good for those places! But it doesn’t fix the unequally-shared-road problem and really underlines how cyclist-unfriendly other places are.12. The Door Zone in general. Will every parked car slam a door open directly into your path as you’re passing? No, of course not. Do you have to watch every parked car for opening doors anyways? Yes! Because even one surprise crash into a suddenly appearing door can lead to injury, sometimes serious, or even death. -- source link
