IKEA is supposed to be pronounced "ee-kay-uh" instead of how most Brits say it.

We use "eye-kee-uh", which is incorrect.

Adidas is also supposed to pronounced A-di-das instead of a-DEE-das. This is because it is named after its founder, Adi Dassler.

An idiot crossed over a double center line on a campus street and almost crashed head on into me while I was on a bicycle. Pretty pissed.

Use the sidewalk next time, Evel Knievel.

by **TenuredVulture** » Fri Apr 20, 2018 15:02:02

It was a she. And there's no sidewalk there.

by **Slowhand** » Fri Apr 20, 2018 15:03:16

She was probably under the influence of marijuana cigarettes.

Riding your bike on the road is much more dangerous depending on the road.

bikes are death metal

The thing is, had I been driving a car in the same situation, it would most assuredly have been a head on collision, as there was no way a car could have avoided the collision. The driver didn't even try to apply her brakes as far as I could see Furthermore, while I may have died and it certainly would have been unpleasant, most likely I would have flown over the handlebars and gone over the hood and either into the windshield or over the roof the car.

Normally, riding around here is pretty great, as most drivers are perhaps even over courteous giving me an extremely wide berth when I ride. I am careful to try not to abuse that courtesy and try to be as courteous and law abiding as possible when I ride.
