ty ty, baby appreciates the compliment.

ya distance definitely matters.

As a driver you kind of hate cyclists and as a cyclist you hate cars - mostly.

Ya, I hate the car system, but not the individual cars unless they give me a reason to. (I get that driving is the most practical thing for a lot of people given how it's setup right now.) Plenty of individual drivers give reason tho, lul.

I think you're right that this is how it goes, but then, imo it's kind of silly of the drivers. We don't want to be hurt by them. For them it's like "oh no, I need to pay attention and slide over a little".

Drivers tend to see cyclists as a burden, when really we're legally and legitimately using the road as much as they are. Literally allowed to bicycle on the roads. So they're actually the burden, we're the ones riding the thing that's small and nimble and won't hurt anyone. They're riding the thing that's a burden. It's just that they think of it as "roads are for cars", so they don't look at it on even footing or care about the burden they are on cyclists.
