This is why I always will say that the share the road campaign is and will always be pure bullshit. I love to ride my bike, but if I have to ride my bike with giant trucks and SUV's imma going to say fuck to that and drive my car.

Cyclists need their own dedicated and barrier protected lane.

I don't even want to ride with mini coopers or vw golfs. I refuse to ride on a road improved, aside from a slow neighborhood

Chavez told the Post in response to questions that he believes both bicyclists were wearing helmets.

That stretch of 83rd Street has four lanes with no shoulders and a posted speed limit of 45 miles per hour.

Lol, they talk about helmets.
