I just found this cycling blog: Bike Snob NYC
. What really got me to add it to my google reader is this paragraph:
"But what about the cars?," you may ask. "Surely I should fear the cars." Well, you should be aware of the cars, and you should know that many of them are driven by people so stupid they can barely operate them, but you should not fear them. Rather, you should know them and understand them. You're at a distinct advantage because, being stupid, most drivers are easy to figure out. It won't take you long to anticipate their stupid behavior in the same way you can usually figure out what your dog is about to do next. Oh, and don't let them bully you. Ignore the beeping. A driver honks to express one of three things: 1) I want you to get out of my way; 2) I want you to go faster; 3) I just don't like you. The correct response to all of these is, "I don't give a fuck." Drivers don't honk when they're about to kill you because when they kill you it's because they didn't see you.
Really, you should go read the whole post.
