[*BCM*] spoiled bitches of brookline.

[Basil Sharpe]

I feel your pain!   I get an SUV reving his engine, going to fast and
close at least 4 times daily when I ride/commute from Medford to
Beverly.   There's some real trash behind the wheel out there.  The good
news is that gas prices are going in the right direction.   When they
hit 12 to 15 bucks a gallon the streets should be a bit more bike
friendly.  So hang in there, were a 3rd of the way there.  I just pray
the prices rise sooner than later because I'm afraid one of these jerks
is going ruin my life and then my wife and child are in a bind without
an income coming in.   But then again why should I feel sorry for myself
when families are ruined world wide just so these jerks can put fuel in
these SUV's at cheap prices.  Hopefully gas prices just price these
jerks right off the road.

pardon my french, but nearly getting killed sorta pisses me off. 

after work tonight i was riding home down harvard st. towards brookline
village and this brand new SUV decided to pull a bullshit left turn
right at me. thank god i reacted as quickly as i did as if i hadn't my
consciousness would be on this fucker's windshield, rather than in this
email. anyway, during the rest of my ride home, after pontificating the
ways in which i could destroy this car with my u-lock, i thought that
the driver may have been a recent grad of brookline high, whose parents
had just bought him/her a brand new SUV (given current trends, it was
most likely a she) for graduation despite the fact that their son or
daughter have no idea how to drive. 

for safety's sake, let's just say that i'm right, and that everyone
should be horribly careful around new looking SUVs in and around
brookline.
