Bike rage

May 16th, 2008

Those who know me, know that I’m quite a supporter of cycling. And that I try to get car-users to understand cyclists when they’re mad about something. Even yesterday I had a discussion about this.

Apparently, the car-user vs. cyclist conflict isn’t limited to Belgium: it is also known in San Francisco. Cyclists around the world, unite! ;-)

There’s only one message to car-users: try using a bike yourself for a few days. Really. During rush hour on a working day. It’s the only way to understand a cyclist’s reaction. Oh: and try to survive the experiment.
