"The death of a pedestrian makes hell for all riders"

Its good to get all this into perspective.

I've got it. We need "Red means stop Dickhead!" jerseys.

Will that all fit on a shirt?

You might end up with "Red means stop" on the front and "Dickhead!" on
the rear.

I was wishing for a flashing sign this morning. On my way to the
city, on a 4 lane road before peakhour, and three cars either passed
way too close in my lane, or beeped at me to get out of the ****ing
way while I was waiting at the red lights (funny, that seemed to have
prompted me to move further right. I'm a *******, aren't I?), despite
the other lanes being relatively unnoccupied.


I would have preprogammed "What's wrong with the other 3 lanes,
dickhead?"

Damn. It's been years since I've used x-no-archive, and forgot it even exists.

Oh well, all my posts have the
X-yes-we-have-no-x-yes-achive-today: NO
header.

That'll cover it. For some reason, I want some bananananas now.

Is it because do me reconcile my life that I say perhaps your plans
could have caused this that you are going through all this that you
came to me? --emacs doctor to TimC

It isn't usenet that is the problem. You can fix that with crunge
addresses and usenet posts eventually fall over the edge..

It is the "lists" that you subscribe to that do not tell you that they
spam your posts all over the internet so every spammer can grep your
valid(?) email address.

What I don't understand is... where was he in relation to the other
riders? Was the rider solo? If he was at the front of a pack then did
the whole pack go through the red light? If he was in the middle of a
pack how did he hit the pedestrian? Did the pedestrian step out into
the middle of a pack?

None of the media reports I have seen have explained these details.
All (or many) of the riders are equally guilty - not just the poor
bloke who hit him.

All the others stoped for the red light, the pedestiean started crossing as
the cyclist passed the other stopped cyclists. That's my understanding,
anyway.

I really like that as a notion. If there's a run of jerseys put me down for
one in short fat man size.

A good graphic designer could set it up with symbols.
