"+1. That being said, we have all been that cyclist every now and then. I'd rather dodge the cars and busses on the streets, as they are a tad more predictable.  "

"I've never hit anyone but if you're salmoning, riding a skateboard, rollerblading, valet parking or texting while walking into traffic I'm NOT sorry."
