Today's weird behavior observation

[johnridley]

I've gotten three emails recently at work CC'ing me the news report that a cyclist was hit and injured by a hit-and-run driver here in Dexter. No other text, just a copy of the news article.

I don't know exactly what people are saying by sending me these. After all, I don't send emails to everyone I know that drives a car every time someone is injured or killed in the area while driving a car; I'd be sending out dozens of emails to hundreds of recipients every year, and I'm sure they wouldn't appreciate it.

My best guess is that these are the people who feel that riding a bicycle on the road is wrong / dangerous / stupid, and think that this will convince me of the same. I really doubt that me sending them similar messages about people getting killed while driving would have that effect on them.

One from a guy who's about the most aggressive driver I know; twice as bad as his wife, and I seriously won't ride in a car his wife is driving anymore. The other two from mother hens who are sure they're going to see my body on the side of the road any day now.
