Then one day…
Do you ever experience this? You go for weeks on end without any serious trouble on the road, and then in the space of one ride it seems that every second motorist you meet is trying to kill you.
A few weeks ago I shared this thought on Twitter:
Why is it that I can go for weeks without any serious trouble on the road, then all on one afternoon every second driver tries to kill me?
And here are the collected thoughts of those who responded:
I get that too, except its often in the mornings. Yesterday I had two taxis consecutively cut in front and park in bike lane.
Perhaps it is to make you appreciate all of those weeks, and warn you to not get too comfortable?
Ah, a paranoid conspiracy theory. I like it! :-)
check your back someone might have put a hit me sign on it
Not necessary-that’s already implied when you’re a cyclist :-(
full moon ;-)
There must be a common moment when all car drivers have a brain snap.
Everything comes in cycles :)
Not sure – happens here too. Do they have a chip in their heads that gets a secret signal, or something?
