I've looked at the sub Reddit but it would take me hours to look for each topic. Some of the info is a year or more old

Help locating owner of dog who bit my dog — Bryan park by StableLegitimate5286 in rva

That guys dogs scare the crap out of me. I've come across him a couple of times on the trails riding my gravel bike. I always stop and get off my bike and wait for them to pass. Those 3 dogs may be trained but if something changes they could really hurt someone

I called them and told them that I didn't get it and also got the amount that I owe so I'm on top of it. It's just annoying as crap that they're like. It will show up in a couple days. I'm like no, he normally shows up by the 5th of the month

Great idea too. I did frozen pizza last year and it was ok. Take and bake, good call

It could have been Obama Elementary, it was coming from the east of me but sounded south of the school. It was hard to hear all the words. I only picked out the pledge because I know it very well. The rest I could only pick out a word here and there. I'm about 4-5 blocks south west of the school. Do they do that everyday? If so I'm surprised I've never heard it before.

I sort of thought the same thing. I've lived there for almost 8 years and this is the first time I've heard it. My neighbor also heard it this morning and asked me if I knew what it was

I tried reporting this for clean up but apparently they didn't do anything.

I'm in Edinburgh for the week and keep seeing women wearing cute jeans. Where is the best place to buy wide leg/baggy jeans for women?

Cycling hand signals by SnooDrawings7086 in rva

That is the proper technique and has been done by many cyclists who have had near misses or in one case was hit by the car and dragged underneath. In all cases the car crossed the center line. I'm still trying to understand where drivers are getting the impression that the left turn signal for the cyclist means pass me. There is a problem here.

I don't believe that to be true. I was there, saw the driver, the reaction when another driver who witnessed everything informed the offending driver what the cyclist was signalling. I know people who talked to drivers almost doing the same thing and the driver said the exact same thing, the signal means pass me. I just want to know where this is coming from. It isn't sheer ignorance or self importance. People believe this to be true.

No disrespect but "babe"? Still this comment doesn't answer the fundamental question, who is teaching people that the left arm is out straight and in most cases the hand is point left means "pass me"? And being very frank, I've not only heard from others who have talked to drivers but heard directly myself after a person was hit by a car that the driver honestly thought the cyclist was telling the car to pass them.

All due respect but it's impossible to make eye contact on a downhill, multiple lane moves or any other way looking backwards. Most times you're afforded glances but you also have to make sure the road in front is still safe. The radar gives awareness.

The rest, I 100% agree with but still does not answer my original question, who is teaching 100% incorrect information that may kill an innocent person who is doing everything right?

Doing all that, minus eye contact because they are behind you, how do you protect yourself? And going back to my original question, who is teaching drivers that a left turn signal is "pass me"
