nothing, absolutely nothing gives you the right to throw bottles at cyclists. Have you ever crashed a bike @ 25mph landing headfirst onto concrete? or worse, in the middle of a pack of other cyclists?
share the road. it's compromise. it's law. it's good natured. relax man. slow down your life. if youre in such a hurry that you cant wait 10 seconds for room to pass a couple cyclists then you might want to think about loosening your schedule.
cyclists riding in a group arent trying to save the world. It's exercise; the best form of, in fact. Nothing is better than cycling if you want to keep a low body fat without destroying your knees. Cyclists dont ride in the gutter because that part of the road is always full of rocks and chips which easily flat a thin road tire @ 100psi.
be carefule, indica. If you make the first move of violence you better be prepared to get whats comin. Someone will get your plate and get the law on your or chase you down. I know some cyclists who can sprint up to 38mph, and if theyre drafting you can reach 45+. If you ever threw a glass bottle at me, I would follow you until you go inside a building and slash all of your tires or go underneath your car and drain all of your oil out. I wouldnt do this because you drive a car. I would do this because youre a fucking asshole who took the first step.
All of you need to lighten up and remember that youre piloting potential murder weapons. How irresponsible of you to lose your temper while in position to kill another. You would injure someone just for making you have to think "uh oh, someone is in the road, i should go around." HOW MUCH OF AN INCONVENIENCE. There are many stories on cycling message boards of people who have been hit by motorists...get into their shoes, youll learn some perspective.
Swimming shits on cycling as far as excercise and poses no potential joint ingury. You also wont get hit by a big ass heavy car...or fall off the fucking bike
Ride your bikes on the sidewalk or in the woods. I love bike riding. But its almost like these cyclists are trying to prove something, especially here in Portland.
I love cycling, but get the fuck out of my way

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

Seriously.
There was a guy in my area who police were searching for because he was trying to run over bicyclists with his car. I can't imagine being so self-righteous and selfish that you feel like you deserve to kill somebody just because you feel like you deserve the road more.

Ride your bikes on the sidewalk or in the woods.
You aren't allowed to do that, here: sidewalks are for pedestrians. I have actually been stopped by cops before, just for riding on the sidewalk. "I'm only on the sidewalk because of all the crazy drivers!" I said to him. "Yeah, well we all have to obey the laws" was his only response

That's how it is here in Denver for the most part
Then again there's a big dif between cyclists who actually follow the rules of the road & keep to the side versus cyclists who just don't give a fuck and ride recklessly
It's not hard to ride in harmony with the traffic, you just gotta keep your wits about you

Canadian Jesus said: 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 totally see both sides of this argument, but I have seen the side of spandex in groups being correlated with arrogance.

It is not actually the case that cyclists contribute nothing to roadways. For that to be true, it would mean that all cyclists paid no taxes whatsoever. Motorists do pay additional taxes, but automobiles also contribute disproportionately to road wear.

Semi trucks are most responsible for tearing the roads up, but they pay heavy taxes to fix the roads. Up here in the upper Midwest, they say there are two seasons; winter and road construction.

...Or that cyclists are not also drivers. Iv'e seen plenty of cars with the bicycle racks mounted on the back.

in my country if you pass a cyclist without leaving 5 ft from your vehicle to his bike you get 700$ ticket
problem is we have the smaller streets in the whole world probly, so you should be driving in the opposite lane
That said, Im loving my bike lately

Here's the thing, as far as I'm concerned...often the cyclists hugging the road side of the gutter lane will force the motorists behind them to move dangerously into the oncoming lane in order to get around them, especially when it's on a winding road. Add to this the tour de France outfits with the skin tight spandex shorts on middle aged chubby guys with attitudes, and there is the recipe which can make my blood curdle. CURDLE I TELL YOU

It is defensive riding. They force any traffic coming from behind to treat them as they would any other slow moving vehicle. They have to wait until it is safe to pass.
Riding in "single file" or, a single rider, hugging the side of the road, encourages the impatient driver to pass closer to the rider/s than is safe. A fast moving car generates a 'bow wave' or, air current, that can destabilise a rider.
Edit. Bear in mind. The vast majority of a car drivers 'hold-ups' will be other drivers and general traffic. Not bicyclists.

I don't like fossile fuel guzzling vehicles in the city.
Gasoline, diesel and LPG produce noxious gases in their combustion, along with fine particulate dusts which enter your bloodstream directly through your lungs and add to the plaques in your arteries.
We need to move away from combustion engines and towards fuel cells, batteries and similar forms of getting from A to B that do not pollute.
Clean air. To breathe.
Yay pedestrians, bicycles, rickshaws and electric powered vehicles.
