So I was riding my bike today on the side of the road minding my business and two wanna be gangsta white guys (to put it nicely) drove up beside me and said "You better get the fuck over before we run your ass over" and drove off. What the fuck? Its legal to ride a bike on the street and I was going atleast 20 mph leaving plunty of room so cars could pass. Should I have gotten there liscence plate and reported it as a death threat to the police? Should I have confronted them at the red light? I'm just really pissed off right now! The guy who said it literally looked like:

ride in the middle of the lane from now on, fuck them.
I don't know about where you live, but a bicycle has to abide by the same laws as a motor vehicle here in Florida. So you have every right to that whole lane, unless you were on some bike lane. But even then that gives the thugs no reason to fuck with you.
I'd tell em to hit me next time, but that's me.

Yeah it just makes me feel unsafe to have someone say that to me. Like forreal I'm sorry I'm the 1% part of the population that actually gives 2 shits about global warming and tries not to pollute as much. Whatever if I get hit by a car, it'll defiantly be there fault because I am VERY careful when riding.  I just don't want to end up fucked up from some wigger hitting me yo And spiritual snorkle your right by the fact that cars make people feel powerful, but when they step out of there cars 99% of these piece of shit road ragers wouldn't say one word to my face.

i live in a retirement/resort town and riding my bike is fucking scary, luckily we have cool bike paths through parks and washes.
too many blue hairs can't see, don't look, over medicated, and that doesn't even include the drunks.
riding can and imo is generally scary. plus douches be douches, even more so with the gangsta BS

well thanks for the perspective guys! makes me feel a little better. I was seriously thinking about kicking there asses at the stop light since I know karate, but I figured nothing positive could come from that. They'd probably just become meaner people then they already are
I feel like a badass though because I'm one of the small percentage with the physical endurance and bawls to ride on the road Plus less polluting (not that it'll stop global warming or anything)
Goddamn life is strange...

Just like how because something is illegal doesn't make it wrong, just because something is legal doesn't make it right. Riding a bike in the middle of the lane on a road where speeds of 35-60mph is permitted is ignorant and stupid. I guarantee you for every 10 cars that pass by, 8 of them are cursing the jerk on the bike who can't stay to the shoulder, whose movements are unsafely and unsettlingly unpredictable, and who has no common sense or common courtesy. Those meat-headed G's were just telling him what everyone says to themselves behind their rolled up windows.
This is why places have designated bike lanes, because bikes don't belong on the road with cars, it's the true order of things. Drivers are annoyed by it, and cyclists have to rationalize it with this self-righteous environmentalist crap they always spew. It's an ugly scene all around. If you don't like not being able to ride your bike on roads where bikes don't (realistically) belong, then push for your town to implement bike lanes.

Actually I was staying on my shoulder and riding perfectly straight. And environmental crap? You think that the BILLIONS of gallons of gasoline we burn every year doesn't have an impact on everyone's lives? If it doesn't right now it soon will. But I'm not hear to argue for 45 minutes. There's plunty of info out if you're open minded enough to look. But yes I agree I do not ride in the middle of the road and hold up traffic. If people get pissed off because they have to slow down for 10 seconds and pass me up then fuck them, they are impatient pieces of shit

When environmentalism is used to bolster someone's sense of self-righteousness, in that case, yeah, it's crap.

I do think it has an impact, I also know some cyclists won't solve shit. Same reason people recycle. They do it to feel good about themselves, to relieve themselves of a neurotic guilt espoused by the green campaigns. It's a neat little abstract perk to riding your bike everywhere. Recycling, cycling, and this and that are not real solutions to our wastefulness as a species. The scale on which this is happening is huge... but if you want to turn the water off when you brush your teeth, while your idiot neighbor goes to work forgetting that his garden hose is spraying full blast into his yard, be my guest.

Sorry I feel good about not polluting the air? Sorry I don't give up and throw trash on the ground just because everyone else is doing it or waste water just because everyone else is doing it? In my mind I am right for not polluting. How could I possibly be wrong?
I am fairly certain that if everyone lived like me the world would be a better place. I am not a fantastic human being just a respectable one The world probably won't get any better polluting wise, but atleast I died trying and didn't wimper and follow the crowd of sheeple.

I'm not saying you should be sorry for feeling good that you're not a wasteful, obnoxious asshole. I try to waste as little as possible, and it's second-nature and all... but it is what it is. You might be doing the right thing, you might be saving money, but you're not really saving the planet.

You realize that the billions of gallons of gasoline are taxed and pay for the roads you ride on correct?
As does the registration and licensing fees we pay for our cars.
Bikes do not pay for roads at this time perhaps they should be taxed as well..
I drive everyday on probably the most biked road in the US (PCH) I can tell you there is a large amount of people who bike in large groups, riding way to close to the dividing lines. Just daring you to hit them.
Its cool if you ride your bike, the guys that passed and said shit to you sound like total dbags.
But a large majority of road bikers are are assholes who feel entitled to the road because they are saving the world.

durp durp I have a car, but I also ride my bicycle 90% of the time. I only drive if the distance is too far, or the weather sucks. I paid my share to use the road. I don't need to pay MORE to ride my bike on the road. Besides, bikes don't damage the roads at all.
Anyway OP, I feel ya. Sometimes drivers are fucking twats. They unnecessarily overtake you/drive way too close to you. You just gotta be a responsible bike rider, and ride as far to the side of the road as is safe. Sometimes it's not safe to ride right next to the curb. There's tons of rocks/busted glass/thorns on the side of the road that would pop my tires, so sometimes I have to ride in the middle of the street. It pisses off a lot of drivers, but I just smile and watch their fat asses drive by me while I bust my ass gettin in great shape

Amen brother, the part about fatass drivers getting pissed off really relates to me. I am kind and curtious on the road allowing traffic to easily pass me up yet some people comming from mcdonalds in their air conditioned cars get mad because they have to wait five seconds and then pass me up. Its alright though.... There is beauty that comes with the ugliness I think we'd get along well, its funny how some people have the same exact train of thought
