while #cycling today a car passed me too close and too fast, it was a huge SUV and barely able to fucking fit into that narrow street. which was even made narrower by the size of the cars parking left and right.
I'm angry if motorists are endagering me like that. and even more angry if they drive through narrow lanes with their huge monsters as if they were at the nürburgring.
what a shitty car whorshipping place this germany.
@distelfliege I live in the U.S. where the streets are wide expanses - I have still been knocked off my bike onto the sidewalk from the bike lane by a pickup truck who sped off. I have a strong dislike for automobiles.
@Puck oh no, how awful! I hope you weren't injured! asshole..
@distelfliege In the end, it panned out well for me - I was on my way to my final test in high school and the teacher, a notoriously tough grader, saw that I was in shock after a classmate called attention to it, gave me an automatic A, and sent me to the nurse's office. I have since become pretty traumatized by cars in some other ways but that particular instance was a victory!
@Puck yay! I've been hit two times and nothing serious happened, luckily, but being traumatized by cars is a thing for me too.
