Most drivers won't swerve for a coon or skunk and if the dog has a tag on the collar,
his owner is mine.

And if you can't obey the law while riding your bike, get the hell off the road.
Otherwise, I'd be perfectly happy to let you see the underside of my car, you
worthless eco-*****.

Not a bicycle, but we had a situation locally where a student and his
girlfriend were waiting for a stopped freight train was blocking the
crossing (equipped with flashing signal lights), which was on a curve
with the engine well out of sight. The guy got impatient and decided to
crawl under the train. The train "suddenly" started (how do you
"suddenly" start a 100-car freight) and ran over the guy, killing him.
The current info on the accident is to blame the engineer and the RR
company for operating the freight in a negligent manner. And so it goes.

There is a law in Kentucky that makes it unlawful to breed animals
within 100 yards of a schoolbuilding, or 200 yards of a church. Why the
difference, I wonder.

OT, but it beats the current discussion.
