"unholy merging of flesh and metal" got me. Oh that's good.
I guess the holy merging would be human and bicycle.
You've never had a cyclist on the sidewalk yell that you're walking on the wrong side of the sidewalk as they blast past you at road speeds?
Assholes are assholes, regardless of what flavor unholy chimera they've merged into. They're just less deadly when they're non-charmeras.
That's true, I have had cyclists yell at me as a pedestrian and driver (no I didn't do anything wrong as the driver).
Honestly no, never, and that feels more like a problem of not having proper cycling paths. Nobody wants to cycle on the sidewalk.
