I think this is a huge part of it. It's no longer just texting while driving. It's scrolling, recording, shopping, etc. and it's constant.

I find this sentiment hilarious...given the sheer momentum (mass * velocity) advantage that motor vehicles have over bikes and pedestrians.

I laugh at "cyclists"...as if they're in the Olympics.

Entitled fools.

I'm just messing around. But I'm not thrilled about bike lanes.

Well, just ask a bicyclist how they feel about the "shared" lanes.

I'm all for a cleaner environment and bikes certainly help with that but I don't know that Boston was meant to be a city that shares the roads with bikers. The roads are already so narrow, very crowded with the cars, buses and trucks and people darting in and out...bikes just dont seem to fit in the mix. Not saying there's no where that it makes sense...but i would not want to be on a bike during busy traffic hours.

Boston is a city that was built long before cars.
