avoiding car doors in the city

[spazzdog]

I had a friend back when I lived in NYC who rode with a ball-peen hammer... car crowded her, BANG! They thought they'd been shot. Worked for taxis that rode up her back too. They'd crowd, then cut around her and BANG! they were missing a headlight.

Now, this was the 70's... but it always brings a grin to my face.

this crazy cyclist with the bad advice is back!!! erg, he won't go away. this is my first real flame war, and i am at a loss. i'm so angry i can't even think straight.

oi, i get so stressed about stupid things.

how do you all handle flame wars? i just want him to drop it, there's no point in arguing, we just don't agree and won't change our minds. so what to do?

Ignore him?

I agree - you can only ignore him.
I would also propose ignoring him on any other thread too.
Treat his posts as if they don't exist.

Yes'um I've been shot at with a real gun! Went right between me and the rider in front. To be fair the Idiots were shooting acrost a road and NOT directly at us for sport but, non the less this is a very popular ride in our area so you'da thunk maybe to look before you shot..duh....... called the cops on a cell but um.... gave up after what would probably end up as another long strory. Make's life interesting no? HAHAHA
