How Do You Get Those Damn Cyclists From Driving Through Your Posh Hood...?
Smashing their face thru your rear windshield. Duh!
Anyone been following this story? Doc slams on brakes after passing pesky bike riders sending one thru the window and the other over the car?
Check the link for the LA Times story.
"It felt like a wall," Peterson said. His two front teeth were broken. The impact and glass shards nearly tore his nose from his face, requiring reconstructive surgery. Blood spattered the sedan's trunk. Stoehr landed in front of the car and suffered a separated shoulder.
Thompson called 911. A recording of the call picked up Thompson telling one of the cyclists: "Get your bike out of the road, why don't you?"
The doctor told the 911 operator about the profanity the cyclists yelled at him. "I slammed on my brakes. They went into me."
The operator asked if the injuries were serious.
"Not really, but they'll tell you that," Thompson replied.

Top Gear Ford Fiesta vs Obama
Top Gear UK. I love this show. I heard its comming to US, I just hope its not gonna be as shitty as the Top Gear Australia - which is, quite honestly, pathetic.
If you're not familiar with Top Gear UK its obvious you don't care about cars what so ever. Or perhaps you do care about cars but........... well, no, sorry, you just dont.
Anywhoozers... like the cool car caring fella I watch Top Gear religiously. They have the most insane reviews, comparisons, races, whatever. What other program races Double Decker and Bendy Busses or Soviet Era Lada vs Mosckvich and such.
The below review is a cause of a viewer writing a letter to Top Gear and claiming they dont do conventional reviews anymore. This viewer complained that all they do is set motorhomes on fire and launch them of cliffs while shooting machine guns in their general direction. So one of the hosts, Jeremy Clarkson decided to do a proper, well thought out, old fashioned review.
Please do me a favor and watch this to the end. First few minutes could be boring... but then all hell breaks loose. Yes, its a Ford Fiesta. And if this doesnt entertain you, you dont like cars - you may return to complaining about Obama electing too many rightists as his crew.

Hasids say no to sexy bikers and yes to driving like shit
"Leaders of South Williamsburg's Hasidic community are pressuring the city to paint over the newish bike lanes on Bedford and Wythe Avenues because they're appalled by the immodest attire of female cyclists pedaling through their neighborhood."GothamistHmmm. Well, how about it. Aint that some shit.

Get the Fuck out of the Bike lane!
If you ride a bike in NYC you know how much of a nightmare it can be. Now, i've been riding here for years and years, and i'm not too intimidated about weaving through traffic to move ahead - but at times one wants to just have a easy and fun ride. So when you compare the NYC bike scene to civilized cities such as Amsterdam and Berlin, the scene in this town makes you sick. Cars do not respect bikes what so ever - but I guess thats not news. In fact, cars think that bikes are in the way and that the bike lane is an extra passing or parking lane. I've been trying to my hardest to "ride" into the bike lane parked cars as much as i can, by accident of course, perhaps scratching the paint or kicking in the door. Sometimes if i'm pissed enough i happen to spit onto the bike lane - not realizing that there is a car's windshield RIGHT there for me to splatter my loogie onto - ooooops. I realize, however, that thats not helping the cause at all - infact i bet it makes these driver douchebags more anti-bike. Time to change my ways i guess.
A few people out there actually did something a lil more productive about the issue - and i applaud them. Good job. This city is getting better, but we got a long way to go. Check out the NY Times video below.
