Have you notice how the general opinion is that people getting hit by cars somehow deserved it? My best friend was hit by a text-and-drive kindof woman. He was an athlete and now he can’t walk more than a few hundred meters.

It’s not. I used to take a hammer in my backpack while cycling for self-defense.
Where?
Western europe.
And you feel like you need a hammer?
I’m just trying to gauge the roughness of your area, it seems you don’t want to be specific which is fine.
I live in Manchester in the UK, healthy level of gangs, knife crime etc. yet I’ve never felt the need to walk around with a hammer. Like I’ll walk through moss side with no issue.
I guess my point is I am wondering if you’re just being worried about nothing or you’re living in hell.
I mean my city is a rust belt and it’s kinda rough crime-wise. But drivers, especially, are fucking crazy. I lived in other places and people were actually quiet on the wheel. Here, I have a friend who had a case for homicide attempt after a truck rammed him “for fun”. He won. Pretty much every cyclist I know got hit by a car.
That sounds like a wild place bro. Some people are certifiable.
Yeah. The worst part is that in other context they often aren’t bad people.
Can you elaborate why people suck that much in your neck of the woods+rust belt?
Political corruption is endemic and every public transportation project gets an occasion for embezzlement. I think it plays a lot.
Charleroi?
Almost :D Liege
