Here’s a good video from bicycle forest: “Tips for cyclists from a car driver”.
- Natasha:
- Now, the first thing a cyclist has to do is put themselves in the shoes of a car driver. Car drivers are very busy people, generally more busy than a cyclist, and we have a lot of responsibilities. My life, for example, is so hectic I don’t even have time to make myself lunch in the morning, let alone go for joy rides during rush hour.
There are some really good lines and a couple of laugh out loud moments. And is there something inherently funny about a driver hurling abuse at cyclists from the window of a pimped-out Rhoades Car?
- Natasha:
- You know what kind of bike I really hate? Those “lie-down” bikes. You know, those ones that the guys with the funny looking beards are always driving.
CRUNCH!
- Natasha:
- Oh my gosh, are you OK?
- Recumbent guy:
- But I don’t have a beard.
And it’s nice to see the Meat Thrower gets a mention in the credits too—Meat Throwers just don’t get the recognition they deserve.
