[*BCM*] bad news and good news

[jb fentner]

I think someone is just jealous of how nice yer ass tends to look when you bike everywhere; the author probably is a fatass who drives everywhere. Seriously, though, we all need to start getting more cautious.. I have a bad feeling about how things are going to go down between shorty out of state drivers and cyclists this year.. My commute to work this evening during rush hour was just scary.. Even for me. On the way to work there was a big mess caused by a motorcyclist getting hit, and when I got to work my girlfriend messaged me worried as a cyclist with an orange bag like mine had gotten mauled in front of her building in central and apparently didn't seem very responsive when being taken away on a stretcher. I can't imagine this person was the only one hit today and it's certainly only going to get worse.

Why did the Globe print this trash.  Bikers taunt her by shaking their bottoms?  Thats lame and stupid even if its supposed to be amusing.    I read another article where a deputy in Ohio said the same thing.  Is this coincidence?  Are groups banding together to try to get people to think there is some biker butt code?

On the bright side, Boston will be getting bike sharing in the spring:
