Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsSome dumbass almost hit me on my way to work this morning.
There was condensation all over his windshield.
It was before dawn and I was riding my bike in my standard all-black outfit.
I'd be dead if he hadn't caught a glimpse of my glowing cigarette ember.
What the fuck is wrong with people.

(102,359 posts)Are you nuts? Geebus, even under the best of circumstances cyclists and cars can be a recipe for disaster, no matter how respectful the two might try to be of each other. But, while the driver was clearly irresponsible not to clear the condensation, what, exactly do you consider yourself for not wearing some kind of reflective clothing to make yourself better seen?

Do not judge until you've biked a mile in my Tevas.

Unless you wear a helmet with cupholders and straws.
