Last year, I was involved in a road-rage incident against a fellow rider, who was hurt when the driver of a Ford SUV slammed on his brakes less than three feet in front of the cyclist. I saw the ineffectual reaction of the local police. Yesterday, I was out on a group ride, and saw riders refuse to get to the right when a car was behind.
There is fault, and intolerance on both sides. However, riders can't just condemn drivers, nor vice versa. I loved the cartoonist's advocacy for kindness and nonsense.
And now I even like the phrase, "kindness and nonsense."
