Seems from the sentence given to him the, "life is so cheap".

Doesn't seem like justice when the bicyclist admits he never even attempted to slow down.

On the other foot there's an old guy in Scotland who's killed two
cyclists in separate accidents, both of which he was at fault for and he
hasn't done any jail time, the second time the judge said there was no
point in sending him to prison. I think I'll do a bank job and see if
the same argument can be used.

The bloke was over 70 and a damned foreigner. What was
his life really worth?

Accidents happen! And, besides, it was his own damned
fault. Pedestrians should always look both ways before
crossing a road. Traffic lights don't necessarily confer
safety - only right of way. You can have the right of way
but still end up dead if you walk out in front of oncoming
traffic. That's what me mum taught me.

Pro tip...never microwave them.

No, it has to be a conventional oven and one must pay
attention to the correct temperature and time in order
to get the molding process right. But, it has nothing to
do with the soles coming off because I can produce
about 4000 watts pulling up. The glue has GOT to be
quality stuff and not some cheap Chinese version.

But, what would you scrawny little wannabe cyclists
know about all that?

That's nothing, I have to wear red shades to compensate for the light
being blue shifted in front of me when I'm riding hard.

LOL! Good try but blue and red shift doesn't work from a
relativistic standpoint for an observer who moves fast.

If you knew anything about physics you'd know that red
and blue shift is a function of objects going away and
coming towards a (stationary) observer's reference at
relativistic speeds.

HTH !

OTOH, I've had to get a special permit that exempts me
from creating sonic booms at ground level.

Yeah, it helps me to know that you have no understanding of physics,
there is absolutely no difference between an object moving towards an
observer or the observer moving towards the object, at relativistic
speeds the light from the object will still be blue-shifted relative to
the observer. Have you found some nice strong thread to sew up your

Note the RED SHIFT forward as you approach the speed of light.

Note how it becomes WHITE as C is approached.

You know nothing about relativity.

And paying attention to the screen of your Garmin

fiddling with your Garmin and paying attention
to your surroundings at the same time.

I bet you text when driving your car, too.
