Non-Thinking People Moment

So i have been watching the news this morning as I blog and drink some koffe. They are talking about a new intersection light system to prevent drivers from making a right on red into pedestrians and cyclists.

I'm all in favor of protecting the walker, runner and cyclist but when you are interviewed on television don't be a hack.

This hack was riding his road bike and talking to the camera with ipod earbuds in both ears. Unbelievable! Does this guy have absolutely no brain activity?! If you are trying to improve cyclist safety on the roads don't do an interview with your earbuds in and a helmet on. That doesn't help the case, ever! Also, why are they showing this hack riding in the crosswalk!? Cycling on sidewalks is unsafe b/c drivers can't see you and you are more likely to have a run-in with a ped. I also blame the news hacks for this one.

Freakinnnn idiootttttt....(nd)
