Oblivious Swerving Cyclists: Saved!

Whew! Since cyclists and motorists are both completely oblivious to their surroundings, Volvo has come up with an answer!

 

 

 

At first I was a little worried the cyclist would swerve for no reason at all. I mean, they really make the cyclist look like a bit of a chucklehead, don't you think? I was glad that a commonplace reason for a swerve was used. However, the cyclist didn't even consider that a car might be behind him. I would rather cyclists knew to do a shoulder check than have tech protect them from their own stupidity. Similarly, I would rather that drivers  were paying attention to what is around them, particularly right in front of them instead of trusting their car to apply the brakes for them. I wouldn't want my car to apply the brakes without my permission, I don't think.

KeJeeJee is not just for selling Stolen Bikes

Sorry for the funny spelling in the post title, but I didn't want to run afoul of our our Internet Overlords with some sort of trademark infringement.

 

This post is just a quick note to mention that sometimes, good bikey things happen. Even on classified ad sites.

 

 

 

 

  

We wanted to publicly thank Janice, who contacted us this morning saying she had spotted my husband stolen bike , abandon by her apartment.

There ARE wonderful people who are willing to do the right thing, and we are so grateful!

My little boy was ecstatic this morning when he found out we could go for bike rides with Papa again.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! We will pay it forward whenever we can :)

 

 

 

 Hey everybody, Janice ROCKS!
