The dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed.

I'm really not a fan of the cops arguing that the cyclist was partly to blame, though, and a €1000 fine is pretty damn low for breaking someone's leg and wrecking a good six months of their life.

You can wear whatever clothes you like if you’re on a bike. Just like you don’t have to paint your car a specific colour to be allowed to drive.

And drivers are allowed to blast music so cyclists should as well. All the safety shouldn’t fall on cyclist double standards.

I’m obnoxious and usually just blast it out loud through my phone like I would if I were driving - I would have headphones in while driving either, so definitely not cycling. Maybe bone-conductors but even then I wouldn’t want magic drowning out any part of my awareness.
