people drivin round in their killer #SUV, going like »oh i'm just a tiny little pedestrian« once they park it — like that 1950s #MotorMania cartoon with Goofy.
judging from this #motorist bias, it's almost certain he's a car driver:
> Injuries related to e-bikes spiked 1,022% from 2020 to 2024, and the American College of Surgeons says only one third of injured e-bike riders were wearing helmets.
if you sit in your chair in your garden and a tiger jumps out and bites you in the face, sure, technically you could call that a chair accident or a garden-related injury.
that shit is the victim-blamiest way wiping the responsibility for #carviolence onto #cyclists.
There must be something in the air that’s making everyone itchy—I’ve had THREE road-rage incidents in the last 2 days between myself-on-a-bike and folks in cars.
I know my town’s streets really well, I have routes I follow consistently, but man, it’s been crazy out there!

I see we blew past “the robots are more important than people” and we’re already at “the robots [are entitled to] have more rights than pedestrians” and “we need them to break laws so we can make more money”.
Super.
Bellingen!

I often pass this pair of #Swans on my #Bike circuit but today I thought I’d take their #photographs while they seemed to be doing some house cleaning. I think the protective netting was put up by the owners of the nearby pub to make sure the #Nest is protected from #Pedestrians and #Cyclists, which is a nice thought. Luckily they were unperturbed by my presence and so I didn’t feel that I had to flee at short notice.
