If you are not monitoring this group, then to Hell with you! Only an idiot would email you directly. Were you born yesterday?

I don't think he was "born yesterday" while our resident mentally
challenged nit-wit awakes each day with a new fantasy.

I came to a sudden stop at the question about car doors because none
of the answers was one I wanted to be associated with.

When overtaking a parked car, TREAT IT AS THOUGH THE DOOR WERE ALREADY
OPEN.

It is impossible to determine that a car is unoccupied, so you should
never bet your life that a door won't swing open and knock you off the
bike.

John B. is the main nut case residing on this newsgroup. He thinks name calling is posting content. I don’t believe he has ever posted any content to this newsgroup. And he is a **** poor name caller to boot.

You have identified the problem correctly, but not the solution. If you pull out from every parked car you will be interfering with traffic coming from behind. You must stay out of the lane of motor vehicle traffic unless you don’t mind vexing motorists. The only thing to do is to slow down and be watchful. Riding your bike fast in an urban setting is going to get you into trouble sooner or later.

Hey, John B., this is what is known as posting content – you dumb jackass!

I think if you post to a newsgroup and want to see responses, you should monitor the newsgroup.

But I don't think much of the "pretend you're invisible" advice. A cyclist who was invisible could never have right of way. He'd have to stop and wait until every car was safely past him. He'd never get anywhere.

So "Pretend you're invisible" is silly. Instead, I'd recommend riding in a visible position in the lane, using lights at night, and be alert and ready to avoid motorists who fail to see you. These have worked for me for 40+ years.

I see that your mania has become defensive. MAMA, the boys are calling
me names! What is next? You will lay on the floor and hold your
breath?

Facing reality and recognizing your own faults is certainly
difficult, but cheer up Eddie, recognizing your own faults and
fallacies is the first step on the road to recovery and becoming a
productive member of society.

Content certainly but hardly either knowledgeable or informative. Like
the rest of your posting just more imaginations of a fevered brain.

Gee, I visited the site and all I saw was an add for a $5 discount on
a fifty dollar jersey and since I never wore a $50 shirt in my life I
decided that the site was for the wealthy enthusiast and left :-)
