I feel uniquely lucky to live in a spot where my work and all amenities are within 15min of cycling. Catch my ass absolutely beaming on my bike as I cruise leisurely down the path.
Every experience I have with drivers makes me more
Sidenote, I want to carry something for when cagers attempt to murder me, any thoughts? I was thinking a pouch with paintballs I could throw, idfk
I’ve been thinking about ways to have some recourse for aggro cagers. I feel like there are two options, carry something obvious that encourages them to leave you alone, or carry something that wouldn’t trigger a violent reaction. Smashing a car with my u-lock would feel amazing, but that’s asking for a fight that I’m not really interested in.
I’ve been thinking about carrying stickers to slap on cars, most people won’t notice till I’m long gone, and it’s not a huge deal to remove. And I’m petty enough to feel good about knowing I’ve slightly inconvenienced them.
I literally think about this every day. How can I inconvenience these shit heads who block the sidewalk, nearly murder me, etc. All I wanna do is get home safe ffs.
I was thinking some sort of paintball delivery device would do nice (not shaped like a gun I don't want to die), or maybe something that would subtly wack their car as I drive by? I'm not sure if I wanna get within sticker applicating reach
