    Err, I think you’ve misunderstood where I was coming from in writing this. There was no biker that annoyed me & inspired this. Instead it was another post to a biking community here asking for advice on riding in cities, & I knew this wouldn’t be right for that thread. This was meant more as snark towards obnoxious drivers & encouraging bikers to be mildly annoying to them.

    The SLPT is because this puts the biker at risk due to shitty/obnoxious drivers by being less situationally aware and inciting their road rage at the mildest inconvenience.

      No, I hadn’t misunderstood where you’re coming from. It’s a shitty take. Read the comments here, it’s all been said, and it has been said countless times before. Stop blaming the most vulnerable traffic members for getting harassed and killed.
