Who gets more respect on the road, a cyclist or a dog?

This is not an exaggeration. Think of the respect dogs get, where few
drivers would push them around, and you will see how twisted and blind
the ATTITUDE toward cyclists is.

While this PERCEPTION is not changed, we will find ourselves fighting
one predator at a time, and believe me, there's little chance of
cyclist fighting back a bus.

Unless bazookas are allowed on bikes... ;)

I tell you it's scary out there, so the key is not the issue.
Yesterday I saw a bus driver blast a cyclist and then cut him off to
the bus stop. The poor guy had to stand behind the muffler and swallow
all that filth. Dogs get more respect.

And now with the approval of the right to bear arms everywhere, it's
better to prepare your guns inside the cage. Get on your car and run
to the supermarket to get bananas for a week at least.

At least the gay have pride, but the cyclists don't even have that.

Hey, wait a minute, I dress like Comandante Banana, royal bike and
all, and still get no respect!

I'm falling back on my hammock. ;)

You can train a driver too!

Use the whip and the treat.

"Hey you, beast" said the lady cop,

"Who me?" said the driver trembling in fear,

"Put your pants down!" added the lady cop...

Whipping is a proven method well beyond the arsenal of the Nazis.

But let's say we give a treat to the driver and tell him, "Good boy,
good boy."

I mean, there got to be some kind of punishment/reward for drivers, or
else we get so many wild beasts.

Can I have some chocolate treats if I avoid running over any cyclists
for a week?

ISTR one of the police forces here in the UK briefly tried a scheme
where they stopped drivers for good driving and gave them a badge or
somesuch.

It was quite a few years ago and I haven't heard of them doing anything
similar since, so I guess it didn't go down too well!

Maybe it worked too well. Remember, they are after your money more
than anything. At least on this side of the Atlantic. ;)

I think it all depends on the kind of dog we are talking about. A
pedigree dog will be valued higher than you, but a mongrel would be
worth about the same.

The pedigree of the cyclist is mostly irrelevant.

Maybe we can send many drivers to this school...

I can't imagine anybody being stopped to be given an attaboy being happy about
it. You can't actually yell at a cop unless you want bad things to happen to
you (at least here in The Colonies) so you'd just have to sit there and smile
and fidget while he does whatever the hell he's supposed to do to "reward" you
for your virtue.

Clearly the concept was invented by a politician. I hope the jerk was a
one-termer.
