wow, he sure seems convinced that it was not his fault for riding so close to parked cars. Wonder how much he made from this.

Yeah, how dare this guy ride so close to parked cars!

Between careless cyclists and little kids chasing their toys into the street I don't know how a driver supposed to carry on an email conversation, eat lunch and do their hair. Seriously, who has time to drive and pay attention to what's going on around them? Just the other day I arrived at work with my BigMac only half eaten and a glob of ketchup on my blackberry because these pesky people kept walking across the street at the stop signs. The nerve of them! Do they think they own the road?

I have no more sympathy for this guy than a cyclist in the right hand lane that is turned into a hood ornament by a driver making an abrupt right hand turn. Or maybe the little old lady with the walker that spent a little too long in the cross walk. Don't these people know, roads are for cars?
