I looked for the thread we had on bicycles earlier this summer, but I suck at yahoo and couldn't find it. Anyhow, while driving down a typical road this morning, I came upon a typical cyclist. Of course there was 5 or 6' of empty shoulder, with the tool riding inside the white line, in the very lane I was constricted to using. Said pedalist was complete with spandex and a ventilated football (shaped) helmet, which we all know is the only acceptable attire for pedaling your bike around in road traffic, in the rain. Now, had I been in the passenger seat instead of driving, I could probably make a better guess on just how close of a call he had with my 5k lb pickup. But I'll guess it was close enough. After viewing his delight, as noted by the hand gesture seen in the rearview mirror, I considered slowing to just below his own speed and using the empty shoulder to make my way. But I've heard that's how trouble starts. It must be an age thing. Cyclists never used to annoy me as easily or as often. Get off my lawn. |

I guess some cyclists are more concerned with making their 'share the road' political statement, than they are about safety, not impeding traffic, and common sense.
They're doing a major rebuild of Skookumchuck road right now, and adding shoulders. Some say they're doing it for the cyclists. I say they're doing it for me too, because every time I pass a cyclist on this shoulderless road, there will be a car coming the other way, and all 3 of us are trying to squeeze by at once. hell maybe I'll start riding up the road more often now. Usually I hit up the logging roads |

I grew up in Friday Harbor and seen more than one bicyclist gently guided into the ditch by a truck. When done correctly it looks like a sheepdog guiding a sheep. Mainly we just threw a beer botttle or can at their head. This warms the cockles of my heart. Or it just warms my cock. Either way, I got a woody. ETA: This thread is easy to masturbate to. |

There's a fine line between unhappy bike riders and jail.... Link
Yes... that's my brother.

Fuck the stupid cocktard. There ought to be a law (No man shall wear spandex, EVER!) I hate bicyclists that think they are cars/people  Correct! When they pay as much as I do for insurance, tabs and fuel tax, then I'll let them ride in front of me. Only thing is, they damn well better be doing the speed limit!

They also realize they will likely be the ones everyone feel sorry for and is declared innocent when they get smashed. One day I was waiting to turn left and just as I beginning to go, 5 cyclists came around me and turned left in front of me... stupid hippies. |

I used to have that reaction, but that was a long time ago. Now I just shake my head.

Don't forget they should be licensed so we can call them in. LEO find "some idiot on a Bi Cycle" of any help.
Wanna use the roadways? Help pay for them. 458 Correct! When they pay as much as I do for insurance, tabs and fuel tax, then I'll let them ride in front of me. Only thing is, they damn well better be doing the speed limit! [/quote]

Not an age thing, ODT. I'm not that old (or........am I...........?) and the shit pisses me off for sure. It's fuckin' idiotic.
You see, it's another one of those many, many signs of that thing we know as "common sense" just not being so common anymore. If I'm on a bike, on the street, and I hear a car, well.........ya know.................I get the fuck off the road, on the shoulder, wherever..........somethin' about a 3,000 lb machine bearing down on me, makes sense to me. Been abidin' by that my whole life.................................. This fucktard Bi Cycle bullshit's gotta stop, takin' up lanes, literally holding up traffic, like they're in the fuckin' Tour De Fucktard or somethin'................it is retarded. |

I always wondered why you liked shaking hands so much. And your hand is soooo soft and supple!  |

Here's my thing for those fucktards... I'm ok with people riding bicycles but for shit's sake... your EITHER a vehicle OR a Pedestrian and MUST follow the rules of whichever you choose... I always see these idiots... riding on the street running stop signs not following the rules of the road and then at thier convienience turn onto the sidewalk at breakneck speed and almost run over people walking on the street. What is this shit??? Then they turn around and get pissed when a car almost hits them when the run a red light and someone is turning in a car.... I just don't get it. AND THEN!!!! WHAT THE FUCK is up with these idiots riding these "cool" road bikes with DIRECT DRIVE where you can't stop pedaling if the wheels are moving and NO FUCKING BRAKES????? Should I take the brakes off my car and be like fucking fred flinstone and put my feet on the ground to stop FUCK THOSE SHITS!!!! I'm sick and tired of that!... And when you're walking on the sidewalk and one of those shits almost hits you because he has no brakes and can't stop he yells and you with this fucking holier than thou fucked up attitude.

Sweet long haired baby jesus on a unicycle, whining about bicycles again?
Until you impatient retards get the laws changed in Olympia that say that a bicycle has all teh rights to a piece of traffic lane that motorized vehicles do, it's just another internet circle jerk. It's not their fault the legislature knows more about this shit than you do. After all, GrumpyM4 said this thread was easy to stroke to. |

I'm not saying I have problem with bicycles on the road at all. I have a problem with the idots who ride them like it's "free for all road rules make em up as you go day". They need to either stick to the sidewalks with speed limits or something OR be on the road licensed and tabbed and following the rules. No more of this "I'm on a bicycle so I can do whatever the fuck I want" crap. |

I would also say the same thing for anyone who drove a car or truck the same way those guys ride bikes. Shit, if I drove my car like I see A LOT of cyclists ride, I would have police on my ass so fast I'd be in handcuffs before I knew what happend. Absolutely. To me, academically, logically, if a Bi Cycle can't keep up with the posted speed limit, it should get the fuck out of the way for those vehicles which can. I think the same thing when I come up on one o' those damn zombies, trolling along in their jalopy at 15 frakkin' mph, totally oblivious to all that's around them. |

What color is your spandex? The small amount of spandex that is used in my LDRider shorts must be black. Good guys wear black. Go outside. Seriously. Just got back. I'm teaching the goats to ride bicycles. Anyone know where I can get them spandex shorts with kevlar protection from LCR animal lovers?

Mainly we just threw a beer botttle or can at their head. Lived up on Orcas Island for about a year. I was headed towards Olga, just after exiting the park. I come around a corner and find 53 bicyclists having lunch in the middle of the road. They found out that day that all islanders didn't have a layed back attitude. |

So far all they want to do is drink gatorade from those silly little bicycle water bottles. They just sit around and talk about bicycles, but won't actually ride them. I think they are just barstool bikers. |
