While riding my bike today, I was hit by a driver in a monster truck and knocked to the ground. Iβm OK. Thankfully, I was not injured or worse. The driver was completely at fault: He did not fully stop as he was exiting his side street onto the road I was traveling. He did not stop at the stop sign, nor did he stop behind the broad white stop bar painted on the pavement, nor did he look out for any cyclists or pedestrians. He just drifted right into the bright green striped bike lane and clipped me before hitting the brakes. π΄π½ββοΈπ₯ π»I live in a city that takes bicycle and pedestrian safety pretty seriously. In fact, drivers frequently complain how all of the cycling infrastructure impedes their travel. But this is exactly why we have it β because irresponsible drivers hurt people.Looking up from the road at the front grille of a monster truck almost on top of you is a nightmare. These trucks are excessive and dangerous as is, but itβs cavalier drivers who are the real menace. Please drive responsibly. π

@freyja @SunnJax Because thousands, millions of people have noticed how badly designed the big penis replacement is, how badly it drives, how risky it is, and we're getting together to rid the roads of them. Permanently.This person is relating personal experience about the soon to be banned trucks. Supporting their junking.We all support junking them.

@freyja @SunnJax I guess the backup is two fold, one the many people and posts you're attacking, and two your anger coming to the defense of the helpless domestic tank.One presumes it comes from concern that public risk outrage may confine the inflated package-mobile to test tracks and garages.#codpiece #childCrusher
