I'm not a tank.

I'm a tender and fragile being on a lightweight metal frame that amplifies the output of my limited organic power generators.

When traffic is crazy, I walk on the sidewalk. At busy intersections I get off and cross in the crosswalk.

Pretending you are a tank puts a lot of faith in drivers to see you and treat you like a tank.

In all honesty, if a driver hit me while I was riding in a tank, they'd total their car. If they hit me while I was on a bike, they'd barely notice. It is up to me to be the adult in the situation, gauge the risk, and proceed accordingly.

Don't trust them an inch.
