AND HERE’S THE ANTIDOTE
A clever ad for reconciliation and respect. From The Drum:
What a superb idea: treat cyclists as you treat horses on the road. It’s simple and clear – we all know that you slow down and give horses a wide berth, so do the same to people on bikes.

Personally, I love to hear these idiots say they want to elbow 85-year-old grandmas in the chest to “teach them a lesson”. I also love it when they compare bike share programs to Nazi Germany.
(FYI – the Pucher slides are in PDF format, not PPT. Still useful, so thanks!)
