now an alley cat race..... thats insane. a bunch of messengers racing around the city.... whew. those are the stupidest things i've ever done in my life. the only way to really understand how insane it is is by being able to keep up, which usually means your a messenger. you just run red lights like nothing, having cars skid to a stop, mashing up hills, dodging cars, everythings vibrating because your going too fast and your muscles are burning, skitch a ride (its when you grab on to a truck or car)..... the big ones, i'd say i usually see 1 -3 kids getting hit or crashing.

Paying taxes doesn't mean you own the road...
You are paying for the upkeep of the road...something you degrade by a little bit every time you drive on it. So because you are damaging the road, you are paying for it.
A pedestrian doesn't "use up" the road by walking across it.

we dont make much. summers are usually slow, and since most places you get paid per delivery, you usually end up getting below minimum. winters are good if its not raining and the economy is doing well. but then you always gotta pay for bike parts and shit always goes wrong, most people quit within 5 years. i've only done it a couple. and i was hit 3 times last year by cars not obeying traffic laws. but i walked away everytime (so far) and managed to get them to give me something like 80 bucks and a sparks 
today, some kid got hit today and the buzz over the radios was that he was dead, but he ended up with broken legs. again, driver not paying attention.... but, ya know, i guess its all good cause they pay road taxes and all

I'm sure cyclists never get hit because they break traffic laws.

Really I could give a shit. I think respect for the people around you is needed on roads no matter what vehicle you're in. I think everyone can agree about that.

Thats the problem with cyclists. They think they don't have to obey the law and drive the freaking speed limit. 
I have no problem with cyclists riding the middle of the road @ 35-40mph in town. If they cant maintain the speed limit they need to hit the curb

yep. it's so nice being called ignorant and (lol) fat by a bunch of whiny cyclists who don't even bother to check the crap they're spewing out about road laws. YES, you CAN get a ticket for going to slow. it's called impeding the flow of traffic, and it's not to hard to figure that out if you do a simple 30 second google search.
