I am irrationally irritated by people telling me "be safe" when I'm moving on a bicycle. I know they mean well but they don't say it when I take the bus or get in a car, only when I'm on a bicycle.
Cycling in itself is absolutely safe, unless you're racing or doing mountain biking. But just moving around at low speed won't kill many people if they fall down. Even without a helmet.
What's dangerous when cycling is getting hit by a car, or a truck, or a van. And being told "be safe" shows just how much society won't discuss the real issue, and just wishes cyclists to "be safe". It's like thoughts and prayers.
Sorry for the rant.
I'm using "take care" instead of be safe. Although, my mother language is not English
Let's start saying "don't kill anybody" to people are about to use their car.
They might mean "be" as in "being"
Like I might say be safe as like a wish for them to continue being safe and unharmed, rather than an imperative, like I'm instructing them to not do anything dangerous
This is exactly how I mean it when I say it.
I say "good luck".
'Cause it is entirely up to luck whether any given driver kills you today.
i tell people to be safe especially when they're driving, that shit scary man
I don’t really cycle and people say it to me. Maybe I just look precarious.
You look like glitter might explode out of your ass at any given moment.
"Maybe I just look precarious" is extremely funny to me, thank you for that delightful sentence
I say this to people when we walk different ways in the hall... i just want people to be good. Its not that directed
I read "motorcycle" instead of "bicycle" and I was very confused XD
