Hey Boise - I hope the same for you.

Grad school has really amped up and with the addition of cycling season starting I am seriously cramped for time. I have been lurking around here and there but just haven't had the time for more serious sifting. Hopefully when things cool down a bit I'll be back in force!

Haven't been seeing you around much lately.

Hope everything is going good for you.

I...think this is an attempt to be funny.


And it's not a very good attempt...


(upvote on the off chance this is authentic)

Either like a boss, or like someone used to winter driving conditions; one does not simply slam on the brakes with snow on the road, that would likely have caused a loss of traction....

this an important element of a lot of modern *electronica, especially dnb

@A10anis @kevingrr @carneval Interesting to note that none of you had previously commented on this sift but the moment something is said that you can argue against you wade right in. I cycle daily, everywhere, and I can tell you that drivers are dickheads 99% of the time. I've done everything the highway code asks cyclists and yet I've still been run over at roundabouts, every couple of days I get some arsehole winding down their window and telling me to get the fuck off the roads and buy a proper vehicle, I've been knocked off my bike more times than I can count (often while I'm in the cyclist lane), drivers who rarely indicate when required, though often they do it as an afterthought after they've side-swiped me.
Basically if you cycle daily then you are all too aware of just how frustrating it is for cyclists to commute. If you deny the frustration that cyclists endure daily then you're full of it.


I, like Kevin, watched the video and then read your comment as it had already been posted. I think you are making some assumptions about the chronology of events here

You must live in a bad area for cyclists, and I'm sorry to hear that. I went to college in a town that had what you described; many dickheads.

I'm a driver too, I do not commute by bike, and I do understand how drivers can get easily irritated. Unfortunately - and I am not excluded from this - being behind a window/steering wheel tends to disconnect people from the world/results in a lack of empathy. It's sad, and very unfortunate.

I see that you are in the UK. I have never cycled there but my relatives across the pond tell me that the dynamics between cyclists and drivers are really bad- it seems your experience agrees.

However, I think my point still stands - I do not want to be run over because some other cyclist pissed off the operator of a 2-ton killing machine yesterday, last week, or last year.

Great idea!

Solid idea. Noted for VideoSift 5

Very nice. Have a quality.


Thanks, thanks, and thanks!

How many of you who are saying the car driver didn't deserve that actually commute to work daily by bike? None of you? Thought so!


I'm a racer, and am out on the road training daily. I have my fair share of negative encounters with drivers even though I carefully follow all of the rules of the road.
To clarify, I don't feel bad for the driver, because he's clearly an ass. However, cyclists like this give ME a bad name and only will further polarize drivers like this.

I sure as hell don't want to get run over by this douche because some other prick of a cyclist punched his mirror off.

Thanks for the promote!

reddit has a serious darkside. I was a little shocked to find this bit of nastiness http://www.reddit.com/r/niggers deep in the bowels of the subreddits.

NSFW, NSFL.

Edit: Seriously, though, your link is way more reprehensible and disgusting. Which is interesting to me, because spacedicks is EXTREMELY disgusting (albeit in a different manner).
