Me: “Alexa, play Daybreak by Michael Haggins.”
Alexa: 🔊🎶
Me:

I get passed by a hundred potential murderers every day on my bike commute.

it baffles me how many people drive around in the dark completely oblivious that their lights are off.
#DriversBehavingBadly

watch me blow by these chumps in cars waiting in line before jumping to hyperspace for the next few miles of my #BikeCommute weeeeeeeee!

in stark contrast to the high speed close pass from a pickup towing a huge trailer last week;
here’s an A+ pass from a driver who slowed down enough to let there be room in the left lane so he could give ample space when passing me.
all it took was an extra 3 seconds.
#DriversBehavingGoodly

this family was just trying to make it from the playground back to the neighborhood.
a ditch on 1 side; 45mph traffic on the other—with no protection from either.
Houston’s mayor thinks this is fine.
can you believe people actively opposed a plan to make this a buffered 10’ multi-use path?
#mobility

why would we design school zones to look safe and attractive with fun mobility for students when we can have this instead?!?!?

#Houston safe passing ordinance:
•3’ for cars
•6’ for trucks/commercial vehicles
This driver gave neither, with his giant trailer coming even closer.
All to pull across the bike lane into a turn lane—instead of just slowing down and going safely behind me.
Video is 1/4 speed.
#DriversBehavingBadly

never let them tell you ‘cars = freedom.’
it’s a lie.
it’s something drivers tell themselves to justify the expense of car ownership & hours lost sitting in traffic.
if the same number of bikes were backed up as cars shown here, it’d take up the same amount of space as only 4 or 5 cars.
#rideabike

because of this asshole
#DriversBehavingBadly

another driver not waiting their turn, assuming they can bully a bike out of their way.
she came within inches of clipping my bars; and with a 1,000 lumen headlight flashing in her face she 100% saw me & decided she didn’t care.

#ZeroVision

I was clowning around with the speed sensor since I was on my ebike and then this lady is so distracted from her driving she crosses the center line for no reason and almost clips me.
folks, driving is just not. that. hard.
