    I’ve tried before, and almost died several times because of asshole drivers and half asleep morons still putting on makeup or drinking coffee or whatever. The bike lanes are a joke and people treat them like passing lanes to get one car length ahead in stop-go traffic.

    Yeah man, I completely understand. I'm very very lucky to live in a cooler climate, only a few miles from my work, with somewhat decent bike lanes (although a joke compared to anywhere in Europe), and I don't sweat too bad lol.

    I try to convince a lot of my friends to give bicycling a try but I totally understand if they're afraid of traffic. It's fucked up that we're forced to ride completely unseparated from cars and giant fucking trucks swinging all over the road.
