The System 649: Bike Sniper

May 20th, 2013

Watch out for that guy. We haven’t seen the bike sniper in a while, but I thought it was time for a comeback.

In our own way, we all need to be bike snipers. You have to be a little on the offense on your bike, assertive enough to not get run over. This guy is pushing those limits, but there’s an element of that in every cyclist on the road. Some wear it on their sleeve more than others.

Vote!

It’s also the final day to vote for “Best/Worst File Name” on Thursday’s comic. Vote, won’t you?

I don't bike in a heavily trafficked area, but there are still occasions when I do feel that way.

As I live in NJ, which is the most densely populated state, there are occasions when I feel that way about pedestrians who figure they can cross anywhere and decide they don't need to look both ways.

As for people who cut me off, well, I've learned to consider them as really stupid and just stay calm.

Heh. Reminds me of the "Spike Bike" stories – see http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~mjh/spike.html

I saw a post on cheezburgr recently, about a woman who intentionally ran over a cyclist in Norway.

Maybe the bike sniper isn't really pushing the limits so much?

I think cyclists should stick to the sidewalk. If you hit a pedestrian, contusions and bruises. If you hit a car, you're a smear of red for the better part of a mile. It's all in the risks!

works in Ireland too because if you pull that they will try and run you down.(no hate on Ireland loving the place)
