Hilarious.

My decision to ride armed was finalized after being followed for 5+ miles by a jeep full of large dudes yelling physical threats at me for riding a bicycle.

I had to hide under a bridge until they got tired of looking for me. Lovely story though.

We call that a side-gun

American here. I ride with a gun. Seriously.

I fucking hate it, but people like this are everywhere and nobody’s helping a cyclist.

I hate everything about this story, fuck car culture so much

Welp, “bike touring Australia” is now officially off of my bucket list. Thank you for that

Because people should be able to move freely? Why are you blaming the victim?

I ride my bicycle from one end of my rural state to the other every year, because I like gravel touring and it allows me to experience the world in a more direct and authentic way.

If some asshole in a truck kills me while I’m out doing this, please shut the fuck up about how I had it coming, 'kay?

Edit: The more I read about this, the more awful it is. He was hit by an 82 year old woman who left him to die in a fucking ditch.

She told police she “thought she hit something, turned around to check the area, and didn’t see anything so she went home.” How is that an acceptable defense? She probably won’t even face charges. It just makes me so angry.
