Me: Wearing hi-vis yellow clothing, putting reflective stickers all over my super-bright flashing helmet with built-in turn signals, using the built-in headlight and taillight on my bicycle, installing a side handlebar mirror, getting a 140 decibel horn so cars can hear me, advocating for dedicated bicycle infrastructure in my city, riding on roads when I have to like a nervous squirrel — constantly looking out for something trying to kill me…

…and little Aku Aku hanging from my bike, as a desperate plea to any greater power to keep me alive.

SUV driver on their phone while driving, snapping a photo of me and tweeting: “Hey guys, look at this asshole bicyclist!”
