I hate cycling in Chicago.

Drivers can be such pricks sometimes.

The way those jerks run through red lights? Give me a break.

Bicycle:
Cars completely ignore cyclists, running them off of the road.

One thing is for sure, though.

One thing is clear.

A bike and a car collide…

A car and a bike hit each other…
