When will those cyclists learn to share?

By 20 March, 2012

I was reading this story on the news this morning about cyclists and their injuries, all caused by a lack of sharing apparently.
That’s right folks, cyclists should not have to share their bike paths with slow moving unregistered pedestrians. It causes accidents! This reminds me of another argument that goes along the lines of car [...]

Time is precious – but come on!

By 24 February, 2010

BFF and I were entering the Belco Mall car park, pausing to collect a ticket, when we encountered the most serious case of road-overreaction I have ever experienced.  BFF paused for maybe one second to place the ticket in the sun visor, causing the driver of the car behind us to honk his horn and scream [...]

WARNING: Be careful of a crazy rock throwing driver

By 28 March, 2008

When I was coming to work this morning, I had a crazy lady behind me speeding and yelling abuse, weaving in and out of traffic.  I gave her the finger which I guess just made her a little bit crankier.  She blew her horn all the way down the parkway and would not overtake me.  She [...]
