I've been cycling for 30 years, but yeah. I must be wrong.

In a car centric culture where cars are worshipped, anything I say will be crazy.

But so... As long as the eardrum is not bleeding is good enough for you? Anything else is just bitching?

I think we ( me and most people apparently) just have a different understanding of respect and civility. So yeah, agree to disagree. I don't make the laws. I can just yell at the clouds. It's legal, so I'm wrong.

To be abundantly clear, I think you’re lying or exaggerating as I’ve never heard of such a case, even searching online yields no results for such a thing and even using an LLM confirms it’s nonsense.

By your logic anybody at an F1 race is leaving with hearing loss. Even taking the loudest exhausts at 100+ decibels it’s the same as power tools, concerts, and motorbikes.

Perhaps your ears are just weaker than most people’s and it really is an issue for you. 🤷. Going to bed now, hope I don’t wake up.

Lying... These people are the biggest issue of my life. I considered suicide because I can't fight them and they are everywhere and they destroy my health. And I'm lying?

No, my ears didn't bleed, if that's what it takes for you. So I guess they are fine.

I'm not going to comment on social circles and personal experiences. You believe whatever you want. Unfortunately proving this to you won't help me. There's no point.

Good night. I hope loud engines don't wake you up over and over again, for hundreds of nights, or you might end up lying like me to the clouds.
