But drivers break them too, while getting angry at cyclists for doing the exact same things.
I take it you’ve never seen the comments on the internet about any trucking crash. It’s pretty fucking racist, apparently no white guy has ever once wrecked a truck.
Painting people with a broad brush, whether it’s race, nationality, or hobby, is bigotry.
For whatever reason, bigotry against cyclists is allowed and even celebrated.
Drivers are out there trying to kill us, because they saw some cyclists ran a red light. Doesn’t even have to be the same cyclists, just kill a random one, get a slap on the wrist, and go on with life. And 99% of people are happy with that outcome. So yeah I’m fucking fired up. If you don’t understand why, I don’t know what to tell you.
Comics like this are just pushing the narrative that all cyclists break laws, while ignoring that cars do the same thing - and much worse - with a much higher chance of damage and injury. People regularly die when drivers screw up. Happens all the time. Just another statistic.
I don’t know why this is so hard for drivers to understand.
I acknowledge cyclists break traffic laws.

I will not give up.
