You sir are not part of the cycling community, so please take your misguided hate someplace else.
I own RD, MTB, and SS/Fixed bikes, all are wonderful for their own reasons.

Someone gave me a fixed gear bike but I ended up converting it to a 3-speed. I feel like the ability to coast was a pretty important technological advancement in the history of the bicycle.

I ride my bike on average 25 miles a day through the streets of Denver, where people drive like fucking lunatics on a regular basis
I haven't been seriously injured or killed yet (knock on wood) and the reason why is quite simple: I ride very, very carefully and I always give drivers the right of way
It's not hard to ride a bike and not get hurt in the process, you just have to be very, very careful and alwahs keep in mind that most people driving cars are not being anywhere near as careful as you, basically you have to compensate for that by being extra careful, because all it takes is one dipshit not watching where they're going and BOOM! You're dead or severely wounded

Just make sure to watch the doors of parked cars, steer wide if you can, they open at unexpected times... it can be hard to see a bicyclist because of size, speed and the position one usually rides (far edge of road, sidewalk where you expect slow moving objects)

Ride way more than I care to, its relatively safe if you're careful. Staying off the pavement is safer, especially when people are drunk, distracted or out to hit someone Riding on the street you're assuming a lot about everyone around you, not defensive driving

I have a single speed which can also go fixed, it's to easy to pedal now though so I stick to riding a road bike in a harder gear.

Cyclists who ride on major roads are fucking losers. They're all going to get cancer too. Doing all that vigorous exercise along side all those car emissions can't be good for you

Exactly my point, one has to compensate for others not being careful by being extra careful one's self
I've had a few close calls here and there, almost got hit a few times but thankfully I'm a hella lucky son of a gun, truth be told I was riding pretty carelessly the first week or two that I got the bike but now I'm starting to get used to riding in a heavily populated urban area and exercising a lot more caution when I do ride

Road cyclists can be quite rude. I'm not talking about the ones in town who follow the rules of the road and stick to the side. The ones I hate are clad in spandex and ride in flocks taking up both lanes of 80Km/h roads in between towns. They never move off to the side and ride in single file. They either make you drive behind them at their 25Km/h speed or make you lay on your horn and force your way around them. It's not bad when it's only 1 or 2 riding down the county roads, that's fine, but why do they need to ride in groups of 10-15 and act like they own the highway? Those roads were built specifically for cars. There's no shortage of biking trails in the area.

I probably annoy drivers at intersectons, they in turn annoy me. Probably get cut off by a car a dozen times a day.
Biking sucks, want a new automobile.

I don't ride a bike on the road any more since getting a car. By and large the roads are not designed for it, even though it's often a legal requirement to bike on the road and not the sidewalk. IMO there should be concrete barriers separating automobile traffic from bicycles wherever possible. The two things just do not belong on the same contiguous piece of pavement in an ideal world.
Same between transport trucks and passenger vehicles, IMO those should occupy separate roadspaces wherever possible. The size disparity is so extreme that the occupants of the smaller vehicle are totally fucked in the event of what could even be quite a small slip-up on the part of either driver.

GET OFF THE FUCKING ROAD OR RIDE SINGLE FILE AND MOVE THE FUCK OVER
YOU FUCKERS ARE ABUSING A ROAD FOR WHICH MY TAXES PAY FOR, YOU DO NOT REGISTER YOUR BIKES AND THEREFORE DO NOT PAY TAXES TO THE ROAD. DRIVERS/MOTORCYCLISTS HAVE RIGHT OF WAY OVER YOU! I DONT GIVE A FUCK IF YOU SAY YOU'RE SAVING THE WORLD WITH CARBON FUCKING EMISSIONS, YOU FUCKERS ARE USING A PURPOSE BUILT ROAD THAT IS A MODE OF TRANSPORTATION, NOT YOUR FUCKING CYCLING TRACK.
THEREFORE I JUSTIFY MY RIGHT TO THROW GLASS BOTTLES AND RUBBISH AT YOU.
GET THE FUCK OFF MY ROAD OR RIDE SINGLE FILE... AND IF YOU GET HIT BY A FUCKING CAR ON A 100KM/H STRETCH OF ROAD IT'S YOUR OWN FUCKING FAULT FOR FUCKING WITH SOLID 1-TONNE VEHICLES THAT ARE TRAVELLING 10X FASTER THAN YOU ARE.
GET FUCKED
ALSO, YOU ARE NOT CARBON FRIENDLY, YOUR SPORT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DISRUPTION OF MILLIONS OF MOTORISTS IN FRANCE, ALSO HELICOPTERS, COUNTLESS CARS AND MOTORBIKES ARE USED IN BROADCASTING AND TAKING CARE OF YOUR STUPID FUCKING SPORT, SO GET FUCKED... YOU ARE JUST AS BAD AS THE CARS YOU SAY ARE DIRTY,
ALSO, THE LAST THING I WANT TO SEE IS YOUR ASS IN TIGHTS CLENCHED OVER A BIKE SEAT WHEN I AM STUCK BEHIND YOU DOING 30KM/H
SO AGAIN, I SAY GET THE FUCK OFF THE ROAD AND EAT A BOX OF COCKS, YOU ARROGANT FAGGOT ARSEHOLES
that is all
I totally agree.

You mean in cities like mine. Where they actually take out an entire lane to separate for cylists? Or dead end roads on purpose for cars can't use them? I like how cities like mine spend millions to accommodate cyclists yet cyclists contribute nothing to roadways.. not mention the insurance spikes from cyclists getting injured
