I live in the city and my folks live in fairly nearby burbs, pretty much just over the limit of what you’d call city but they do most of their shopping and stuff further away from the city in waaaaaay more car oriented shitty stroads. I can’t think of the last time they’ve picked me up here and he hasn’t gotten mad at bikers being entirely normal. He gets mad at people for biking on sidewalks when he’s driving, most recently he was mad someone biked through an empty crosswalk instead of getting off and walking it across and then resuming biking despite it not affecting him in any way. Drivers think that needing to look out for people is the fault of the pedestrian or biker they might kill. In his mind everyone should only travel by car so he doesn’t risk killing someone, which is way more of a burden than dying. The entire burden of traffic safety is shouldered on the victims and it’s insane.
