It seems like a radical idea these days.
I had this thought on my most recent bike ride when I had yet another encounter with an aggressive driver in a large SUV. I was riding on the road when he drove by me as if I wasn't there. He was so close I could touch the side of the car. There was no excuse for him not to move over. The road where I was riding has a large median strip and there were no cars coming in the other direction.
When I approached the driver at the stoplight, I asked him if he tried to run me off the road. He got defensive. "No, I did not try to run you off the road," he replied. I told him I was glad about that and asked him to be more careful the next time.
As I rode away, I fought tears.
This is getting old. But it's not just the bike.
Why are people so mean?
I don't know about you, but I've noticed just a general loss of kindness and civility these days.
