A perfect example of "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should." A car going 5mph is being just as much of an asshole as a cyclist going 5mph. Both are being assholes going 5mph on a road where the limit is 45. The only difference is that cyclists will cry, bitch and moan if anyone complains about it. |

It's a road. If you drive on it, you pay attention and don't hit other things that are on it.
I have had to wait to pass a cyclist on the road one time. I took 5 seconds. Funny how some people will rage over that.

Cyclists on the roads piss me off too, but...
Saying he got what was coming/it was a risk, etc. is the same argument used in rape cases when girls press provocatively. Yes, it was stupid, no it's still not their fault. Case is the same here. Girl should be tried for manslaughter, easy. P.S. How long before insurance rates for teenage boys drops lower than girls? The only people they kill is themselves. |

I don't care what you pay. If you're biking along at 8mph in the middle of a lane, on a road that is 55mph, you're being a fucking selfish asshole - period. Do you *really* feel like you have the right to block 50+ people who are stacking up behind you, because they can't get around you?

I enjoy a good bike ride, but I always have to put by bike in the truck to get to the offroad trails.
See, I paid for road use via my truck reg. Way too much chance of getting squished on a 2-3 mile pavement ride, with no bike lane present, to reach the trailhead. Some of you fuckers are way too far gone to reason with. These threads are always good for a lock or 2. |

2) The laws of physics do not care what the laws of man might allow. 3) As a cyclist, it might be better to be alive and riding on a bike path, than dead having ridden on a roadway because the law says you could. 4) What you can legally do, and what you should do, are often at odds. |

We have lots of slow moving vineyard equipment on the two lane roads around here - none of it requires special permitting. They just putt along at 20 mph on a 45mph road............... Around here there is maybe 20 miles of dedicated multi-use path and only major surface streets have designated bike lanes - so the "alternative" you speak of isn't exactly there in all cases. That said - we have tons of cyclists on the roads and very few car vs bicycle incidents. The ones we do have have been DUI motorists or mentally unstable geriatrics that literally chase down cyclists onto a golf course........... |

In this part of OK Hwy 66 is twisty, hilly, and has 0 shoulder over most of it. Last week I came over a hill going 65 and two bicycles were riding in the road two wide. They do a big bicycle ride every year and I'm just waiting for the fatality accident. A few have been clipped by mirrors but they come back every year. Just because you can doesn't mean it's a good idea.

I did a short 20 mile ride yesterday - mostly on two lane road w/o a bike lane - and I delayed one car for maybe 10 seconds as he waited for the oncoming P/U to clear us so he could move over the full lane and safely pass me. Imagine the horror when I saw the driver wave as he passed me

This makes it safer for the cyclist by making cars go around you at a safe distance instead of squeezing by you in the same lane. Rules of the road. |

I nearly killed a bicycle rider this week and I wasn't texting. I came around a curve where the speed limit is 60 mph and trees created a momentary blind spot. As soon as I'm around the corner, I find the rider in my lane, in the middle of the road doing about 10 mph. There's a truck coming at me in the other lane, leaving me only one option, which is to slam on the brakes and drive into the ditch. I literally passed the guy while sliding through the fucking ditch and could have been seriously injured or killed myself.
His reaction? He never even acknowledged me. Just kept pedaling. So with that in mind... Fuck 'em. |

People that rail on this forget that it isn't primarily upper class teens getting these. Mostly people that are otherwise unfit or unprepared for parenthood. You can't have it both ways, fsa haters should LOVE ABORTION. Forgot to add: Hate freedom dbag? Leave if you don't like the laws, funny quips on the internet don't make you better than anyone.

Nice personal attack at him. By the way, do you have the freedom to kill your child if you feel like it? |

In this part of OK Hwy 66 is twisty, hilly, and has 0 shoulder over most of it. Last week I came over a hill going 65 and two bicycles were riding in the road two wide. They do a big bicycle ride every year and I'm just waiting for the fatality accident. A few have been clipped by mirrors but they come back every year. Just because you can doesn't mean it's a good idea. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Wha's the speed limit on that section of Hwy 66? Roads around here I would describe as "twisty, hilly" are 45mph speed limits. |
