I just saw a guy get slammed and fliped by a car. He was biking the wrong way on 4th with his headphones on and when the lights turned green he was in front of a dude who floored it.
Be safe out their with the drunks tonight.
On a side note my potato cannon is ready and i will be drinking tonight.
happy 4th

Not to sound like a dick, but it sounds like he had it coming.
I'm always amazed by people riding against traffic (yesterday I nearly flattened a guy riding on the wrong side going up Pine who also yelled at me).
Ditto people who listen to headphones whilst riding their bikes. When I see them on the Burke (or on the street, even) I seldom "on your left" them figuring they won't hear me anyway. This is to say nothing of the dangerous idiots who wear headphones while driving their cars.
All of that kvetching aside, do be careful out there with all the holiday revelers running amok.
