Entry 17 – Sydney drivers are fucked


Sydney drivers are fucked. 

As a cyclist, Sydney drivers can fuck right off. Sure, some are considerate, allowing lots of space when they go around. Most, on the other hand, are fucked.

For starters, you are sitting on your ass. You are literally just sitting there on your ass. I’m pretty certain you are surrounded by creature comforts too…air-conditioning? How nice. Padded seats? Sure. Music at the touch of a button? Definitely. You are, quite literally, doing next to nothing. All you have to do is point and flex your foot and manoeuvre a wheel. Ok, so maybe you also have a gear stick and a second pedal, goodness me, don’t strain yourself. (I am also a driver to btw.)

I, on the other hand, am saving the environment. Yes, of course I am slower than you. No shit mate. You have a goddamn engine underneath your ass. Don’t mind me. I’m just working my butt and calves off while on my way to work. I’m improving my fitness, my heart health and strengthening my glutes. You should be thankful I’m on my bike. One less car on the road for you (and me) to rage against. You point that dainty little toe and you’re travelling at 60km p/hour in what like 10 seconds? (That’s a total guess by the way.) You could kill me SO EASILY. Is that what you want? A manslaughter charge against you? No? Then move the fuck over, give me space and slow the fuck down when you’re passing.
