<li>Trust no one on the road.</li>
<li>Trust only your own instincts. (<q>Sixth-sense</q>)</li>
<li>Safety gear (helmet and lights) are useless/optional (see above). You're not a biker or cyclist, you're out to do some work.</li>
<li>Speedy package delivery is imperative. (Your own self count as package delivery).</li>
<li>Impartial to either road and sidewalk. As long as it gets from A to B fluidly.</li>
<li>Cars have right-of-weight? Bicycles have right-of-agility.</li>

<li><a href="deadRight.html">Cemetery is full of people who obey the law.</a> You'd rather stay alive.</li>
<li>Red lights and stop signs only apply to cars. Humans get along fine without them ever since civilization began.</li>

After all, you could be the most perfect<i>est</i> road cyclist and still get criticized, so why even bother with the micromanagement and the <q>shoulda, coulda, woulda</q>s? <br>
Ultimately, you recognize that bicycles don't behave like cars. But the law doesn't acknowledge that. And it isn't interested in your safety, only in the smoothest car-logistics. Any road-user who isn't in a car on the road pretty much has a death-wish; they'll be blamed for every single little things they do or don't. You have learned to accept this.<br><br>
Congrats, you stopped caring about what other people think, and only focus on being your best self.<br>
