Bonnie: I remember Pressers Deli. My mother bought all of her meats there. I remember Mrs Presser made the best fish cakes in the world. We had them every Friday! She would...... EvilGentleman: Good point, but in Montreal, we have speed limits, unlike on the autobahns. And North American headlight flashing is usually reserved for emergencies, telling drivers to go ahead at stop signs and letting big-rig drivers...... 99¢Dreams: Car vs bike has never been a fair fight. But c'mon guys, the city was designed for HORSES, aye? Those early bikes had it rough on the cobblestones, though far less deadly. ...... CartLegger: But the point is, before the driver of the bicyclist has made their fateful and unfortunate decision, thousands of other decisions have already been made for both parties: by auto makers, city planners, politicians, road...... Marissa: MY HOME TOWN!!!! its cahnged so much but i have soooo many sorties about sheepshead bay and everythings changed so much! love your storie thought made me think of all the hot summer days the...... EvilGentleman: True, but Montreal seems to be particularly stricken with this affliction. (wtf? when did ##I## stop using English? omg... lemme try this again...)

On the subject of what started the whole thing - littering. Mad Max actually said, "So he littred big......

Viceroy Snuffleupagus: This forum discussion is an excellent example of discursive disintegration by virtue of anonymous expression. I'll explain, as this message board was an opportunity squandered. Sure, an argument can be made on behalf of...... driver's brother: thank you for your support mad max... protestarmy: I found and posted what is attributed to be the couriers version of this story. I found this on Spacing Wire. It presents a slightly different angle on the whole keying of the car issue....... Litter did I Know: I read this story carefully. I have already dealt with a similar situation in a similar way in Victoria BC. A Car whizzes by me on a narrow downtown street and out the window flies...... Jim: I took an hour to get through 1/2 of this chain (before giving up)so sorry if I'm repeating.
Leah is wrong! You can't have a city filled with people taking situations into their own hands. She...... What's Really Going On Here: Since this has become a cyclist vs motorist thing...
Helmet Cams
Just as Richard Nixon wouldn't have been nailed without the tapes, technology is available that cyclists can use to get motorists to behave. The technology...... Dan: That motorist should be charged with littering, fined and made to do public service like pick up the litter that "back side orifaces" like him throw on public areas. I have done the same thing...... cobber: I cannot believe that the police did not lay charges. If it was a domestic, there would be no question about charges being laid (she was no match for that guy physically). Although I definitely...... cobber: I cannot believe that the police did not lay charges.

anyways, GOOD ON YA, LEAH! i've done the same (i.e. return...... City Dweller II: Leah, the cyclist, is not in my mind an honour to our city. A knee-jerk reaction such as the one that she made is -- albeit righteous and somewhat amusing -- foolish and inflammatory,...... Both sides: I have read/heard both side of the story. Unfortunately, the "motorist's" side was stated by his fiancé and not by him, as the actual participant. Both sides are plausible but I am still...... To 'She Had in coming', 'The Motorists' and Everyone else.: It's too late to defend this very very dumb individual. Why is it everyone who claims to know him personally writes the exact same way? So "Brother in Law" are the kind of...... JAC02000: Thank god someone stepped up to the plate or more a$$holes like this would get away with anything out there. She should be commemerated for her actions rather than down played by society for...... RAPPAR: Reverse the roles and the male driver would have been arrested and thrown in jail. I'msurprised that the COPS didn't do that anyways just to teach the guy a lesson, but then there were...... serves her right : Ok Iam the brother of the girl and the brother in-law of the guy first Id like to say to all those people out there that think this guy is nuts and beats my sister......
