Dear cyclist.<\/p>\n
Bless.<\/p>\n
You aren’t a superior lifeform.<\/p>\n
You aren’t invincible.<\/p>\n
You aren’t invulnerable.<\/p>\n
You aren’t particularly clever.<\/p>\n
You haven’t taken a test of competency.<\/p>\n
You also aren’t insured.<\/p>\n
So the next time I’m sitting in my car at a set of traffic lights waiting for the red to go away…<\/p>\n
And you pull in front of my car…<\/p>\n
I’m going to put you in hospital.<\/p>\n
Or the morgue.<\/p>\n
I really don’t care which.<\/p>\n
You choose.<\/p>\n
Or better still.<\/p>\n
Choose not to get underneath my car.<\/p>\n
It’s bigger than you are.<\/p>\n
It’s heavier than you are.<\/p>\n
It’s turbo-charged, fuel-injected, has a hopped-up, chipped engine management system that gives it a 30-70 the same speed it does 0-30 in.<\/p>\n
And it’s automatic so I don’t have to waste time with gear-changes.<\/p>\n
So just ask yourself, punk.<\/p>\n
Who’s going to be away from the lights quicker?<\/p>\n
You, struggling to catch your balance before the C of G has its wicked way with you?<\/p>\n
Or me?<\/p>\n
Do ya feel lucky, punk?<\/p>\n
Huh?<\/p>\n
