I didn't even mention all the hatred out there for bicyclists....believe me a lot of automobile drivers really hate bicyclists...they will shout obscenities as they in the safety their cars pass you by at a good clip...I managed to catch one at a red light but that is another story.
I make sure to carry 4 things with me when I am biking....a bottle of water, a kit to repair flats, a can of pepper spray primarily for unattended aggresive dogs not on a leash but has other uses also.... and very importantly a concealed weapon w/permit for the psychoes and negroes If i happen to stray through a black area....a lot of crazy people out there...believe me.
Bicyclists have been assaulted and even killed for no other reason that they were riding a bike....that is the level of hatred out there that unfortunately exists....now if you can stick to good neighborhoods the danger is decreased but for those of us who often go on long bike rides...often through unfamiliar territory you really do not know what you are going to come across..sorta like a lone horseback rider in the old days heading out west through indian country. Some of the crazys think a lone guy on a bike is a easy target.
I rode bikes competitively for years..and a lot of road cyclist are fucking prima donna assholes who more often than not want to make me run em over.
This is in no way directed at Sunnis situation,just something I've observed over my many years of riding.
