    New Studies Show Some Motorists Hate Cyclists, Won't Ever Slow Down When Overtaking

    'Those piloting heavy, fast motor vehicles often use their speed and power to muscle all non-motorised users out of the way, sometimes without knowing they’re doing it. “Vulnerable road users” – such as cyclists and pedestrians – become either invisible, or irritants to be buzzed out of the way. '

    'Motor cars are deemed to have priority on roads. Cyclists report being buzzed by nurses, nuns and White Van Man alike.'

    Those nuns were up to no good in A Very Peculiar Practice. See also The Blues Brothers for further evidence of evil nuns. They can't all be bad I guess? There was a psychologist nun in Glasgow years back who drove a motorbike.

    For those of us without Catholic friends, the spirit of advent is dedication to prayer, fasting, sacrifices and acts of self discipline. Semi asceticism.

    @gembo You only see one in the Blues Brothers and she's strict, rather than evil, only starting to hit them for swearing in the classroom.

    @iwrats "...acts of self discipline" like only eating one small chocolate each day?
