Wearing that sexy shirt, I'd just put you in the back of my truck and rape you somewhere out deep in the woods.
That's what you get for wearing clothes like that. |

No problems if you obey all the other laws on public roads that all the other licensed 2 and 4-wheeled vehicles do.
* shrugs * |

As long as you make an effort to get the fuck over, then I'm not going to do anything.
Oh wait I forgot, I might make fun of you if you wear those faggy spandex suits. I have a MTB since I hate riding bicycles on roads, and yes you'd kick my ass on a bicycle unless it had a motor on it. Also I dont care if you stop at lights as long as you arent in my way. |

Cool shirt.
And I don't give a crud about bikers as long as they're stopping at stop signs and lights and not just picking and choosing when they'd like to be treated like a regular vehicle. |

I ride smart, I plan early rides on the weekends and I keep an eye out for people in cars. I move over when and where I can. I am nice and I wave to people that give me some extra room. Most bikers (at least that I've seen, in cities) don't do any of those things. |

Serious question, Is a bike lane one way only? Some of our bike lanes are not marked with arrows.
|
|
It's only the ass-hat cyclists folks are concerned about....Not quite sure where you fit in.

Quoted: If you don't think I belong on the road, work to get the laws changed . When I ride my bike to work. I avg 18-22MPH. Speed limit is 15-20mph on the roads, yes I pass cars . When I do my shorter rides ~20 miles, I avg 23mph or so. Avg speed limit on those road about 25mph. When I do my longer rides 50+ miles, I avg 20mph or so. Avg speed limit is about 60-70mph. About 10 cars pass me at most. I ride only on back roads. I ride smart, I plan early rides on the weekends and I keep an eye out for people in cars. I move over when and where I can. I am nice and I wave to people that give me some extra room. When I do group rides, we do pace lines. If you see me out there, keep in mind if you think you can push me off the road, I do carry a LCP when I ride . I have only been ran off the road once and the guy got keyed when he did it. http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a285/2000Z3M/IMAG0142_zpsd45f23f9.jpg With my old eyes and poor reflexes if I "pushed you off the road", I doubt if you'd be in any condition to key anything? Be careful out there. Two ton cars are really badder than the baddest cyclist. Good luck to you! |

You're brave than me. I have a road bike and I rarely ride it. Too many jackasses out there.
Yes, I'm skurred. |

Your jersey still has a price tag on it. Do you even cycle, bro?
|
|
Just remember that when driving down the paved road, that the speed limit and traffic rules were put in place for cyclists. All the big gas engine things on the road are the inconvenience to you and should be ignored. Also, riding out in the middle of the road is perfectly fine, especially in curvy and hilly areas. Those people coming over hills and around curves should expect to have someone doing 20 mph right in the middle of their lane at all times, especially in low light.
ETA and you commit felony property damage. Classy. |

Stop /= Yield This I know, I will not bitch if I get a ticket. I did get one for speeding once. And even base sent out an email stating "We are going to start inforcing speed limits on bicyclist" the day after we have 35mph winds and I was doing sprint work. I guess blowing past a cop on base like he is standing still is a bad idea. I was going 43, he was going 25 |

I love the guys that make fun of cycling outfits, then go home and watch a football game where a bunch of big dudes wearing spandex are running around a field grabbing each other . Do you call them faggots too |

If you can get the rest of the bicyclers to do this we would be good. I live an an area that is primarily agriculture with a couple rural subdivisions. Lots of tractors and farm/work trucks pulling livestock trailers on the two lane roads with narrow bridges. We get a lot people from metro-Nashville that drive out here, park and unload their road bikes for a day of riding. It would not be a problem if most would do what you do but the majority do the opposite. It is hard to pass due to hills and two lane roads yet the bicycle people will ride 2 to 3 across in the lanes at slower than the speed limit. These are the people that give everyone else a bad impression of bicyclers. I've had this discussion with some people I work with that are big bicyclers and it is like talking to a wall. These guys have the "3 Feet <--> It's the Law" stickers on their cars yet are the same ones that ride in the middle of the lane so that if you give them 3 ft of clearance your car would be in oncoming traffic. |

Stay as far right as you can, or prepare to get buzzed. Also, don't pass other bikes on a 2 lane mountain road. That almost got one of you guys killed last weekend. If I have to choose between a head on, or taking out a bike, I'm taking out a bike.

I can crank out 11 to 15 mph on my 29'er.
Moar pedal, less pasta. |

Nice averages OP, now stop bragging about them since your rides are flat with no real hill climbs
Sorry had to bash since this is GD and I agree with you |

Like DK said, most of us hate these assholes too. I remember driving South Tropical Trail and getting behind a large pack on a double yellow. I hung back at 20 or so, gave them their space and followed them to the shop I was opening that morning. They got pissed that the shop wasn't open on time. I suggested they buy mirrors. |

There are awesome bike trails around here, with great parking, and smooth roads. If they cant use those, and want to play in traffic, they get what they get. I just feel bad for the poor driver that has to live with running their dumb ass over by accident. |
