I think we can all agree that there are asshole cyclists and asshole motorists, right? The thing is, although a cyclist riding dangerously can indeed be a problem, there's a lot more motivation for him to ride carefully since he can so easily be hurt by a car, especially one driven by an irate person who doesn't like cyclists, whereas a lot of motorists think they can get away with anything since they have a big vehicle that can easily injure a pedestrian or cyclist.





QFT


Since the danger to cyclists is SOOO much greater than those in the cages, shouldnt we all give the benefit of the doubt to the cyclist? It's his/her ass on the line, not the driver's.
At most how long does it take to wait for room to pass? 5-10 seconds on a two-lane road? I dont get whats so difficult about passing.
Like many other cyclists in this thread have said, oftentimes sport cyclists riding in a group will call out "take the lane" wherein we deem it safer for the cyclists and motorists if we just claim the entire lane instead of having too many close calls. This is extremely rare, btw. But we do it on purpose. There is a reason for everything. Cyclists arent out to make you 30 seconds late.

Bike is currently my only form of transportation.. I bike to work. Most of the time there is no sidewalk (it's against the law to ride on the sidewalk in my area but that's besides the point), so I am forced to ride on the street most of the time. Which is better anyway.. because fuck dodging pedestrians on the sidewalk and hitting those bumps every block. The law says I have to ride on the street. And that I have every right of a normal vehicle.

But the street can be worse. Because of asshole drivers. I hug the side of the road as closely as possible and there ARE two lanes.. I'm not some dickhead biking for fun and games and trying to piss people off by blocking the road.. I'm trying to get to fucking work. You think motorcycles have it bad.. try being a fucking biker for a week. It's not bad enough I'm hugging the shoulder half the time.. TRYING to be fucking courteous and letting people pass.. with assholes nearly clipping me and yelling shit out their window because they think it's funny.

one asshole actually did clip me once, because he was either not paying attention or just didn't give a fuck. And I went tumbling into the middle of an intersection. Luckily I know how to break a fall and I fell the right way so I didn't break anything, and luckily no one ran over me and splattered my brains all over the pavement. The guy kept going but some lady stopped and asked if I was ok.. it's probably good that guy kept going because if he would have stopped I probably would have smashed his fucking face in.

Another time I was crossing an intersection.. with the right of way.. and this stupid broad pulled out without stopping at the stop sign or bothering to look.. I saw her coming from 200 yards away but I didn't think she would be that careless or stupid. But she hit me in back wheel which again sent me tumbling into the street and broke my wheel. Luckily I didn't sustain any life-threating injuries that time either. Maybe next time I will just die.

I get people fucking zooming up against me when they have plenty of room, yelling shit out their windows, etc all the time.

You do realize you are fucking with people's LIVES right? It's not fucking fun and games. You are in a 2 ton box of death moving at 35+ MPH, I am on a two wheeled piece of frame with my entire body exposed. Irresponsible drivers are the worst fucking kind. You take that shit for granted, until you commit vehicular manslaughter, then it's not so funny anymore.

I haven't had anyone throw anything at me except obscenities. But that would just make me snap. The amount of assholes drivers out there maybe I should start carrying around hand grenades to toss in their windows.. that'll teach em for driving their cars on the road right?

Seriously.. get a fucking grip. and a big FUCK YOU to anyone who thinks its cool or manly to fuck with someone just trying to get to work and risking their fucking life every time they do it. If someone threw something at me, I would most likely try to hunt them down at their place of residence.. slash their tires and smash their windows.. then throw big rocks at their face.

You knock me off my bike on purpose, I'll blow up your fucking house.

Even though the law says I have to bike on the road, fuck that. I'd rather bike on the footpath and take my sweet time than have to deal with idiots on the road.

Exactly! This is the main reason why when I ride with my crew we take up our lane like we have a right to and like the law says we have to.

By doing this, we're clearly visible so that idiots dialing their phone or putting on makeup have a better chance to see us before they run us down.

And on top of that shit we have to duck flaming assholes throwing god damned bottles at us!

WTF is wrong with this planet?

I don't know. Well I could make a lot of educated guesses.. most of it would revolve around religion and politics though..and would be a rant.

But in some ways I think driving near the edge of the lane is a lot more dangerous. I can't even count the number of times I've had assholes swerve out of the way at the last second, nearly hitting me.. just because they weren't paying attention... probably messing with the stereo or talking on their cell phone or watching Opera on their dashboard...

I knew a guy who ended up in the emergency room with a bad concussion and a bunch of stitches because some asshole threw a glass bottle at him while he was biking. Didn't have a helmet on either. Lucky he lived if you ask me. That's fucked up.

Dude we have some here...but this one Doctor is a real problem...thinks he is like a car...gets mad when you pass when he is in the middle of the lane.....for miles going 25mph...we started carrying a water gun so when he flips us the finger we can strike back...I am all about health but be considerate...I pray these people get some common sense.

Made me laugh when I read a story of a millionaire Spaniard who hit and killed a cyclist with his Ferrari.

Then sued the family of the cyclist for damage to his car.

Let me clarify my reply:

I have no problem with the bikers that when you come up behind them, move over a little bit to let you through. If there isn't oncoming traffic, you're obviously aware of them I don't see why they can't move over and let you by. Just because YOU are comfortable going 25mph doesn't mean that I am. What gives you the right to dictate my speed? That's cool that you ride to be environmentally friendly, get exercise, all that, but when I am in my car and in a hurry to get somewhere that I need to be, I don't want to be stuck going 25! Is it unreasonable that I'd like to drive fast on roads that were designed and constructed to go fast on?

I agree that some people take the hatred of bike riders too far, and I haven't ever thrown anything at a biker, but goddamn some of them are pricks! I did run somebody into a ditch once, because he kept swerving back and forth with me, trying to NOT let me pass him on a road with a 55mph speed limit! Wtf was that?

I'm not saying all the people who ride bikes in the world are assholes, but I sure have run into a few pricks that give you all a bad name.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



I'm not dialling on my fucking phone, I'm not putting on my fucking make up. I'm fucking driving to places I either want or need to be. AT SPEED. A BICYCLE MOVING AT 20-40KM/H IN A 100+KM/H ZONE IS A HAZARD! IF I COME AROUND A BLIND CORNER AND YOU ARE THERE IT IS YOUR OWN FAULT IF YOU GET HIT!

A stretch of road OUT OF CITY LIMITS is a serious stretch of road with people who, whether they are assholes or not, are travelling at speeds upwards of 100km/h.

These roads are for transport, and when I'm USING this road to get somewhere in a hurry, or NEED to get somewhere, and there is an asshole cyclist/s that refuse to EVEN MOVE over a little bit piss me off.

These people are the original antagonists, and whether or not you 'ride in large packs' to assert yourselves is just absurd. You are riding for leisure, sport, fitness, what the fuck ever. I am using the road to go about my normal day to day activities and how fucking dare you say I never have anywhere important to be. Fuck you. That's absurd. Where I have to be is more important than your leisurely fuck-arse ride around the country side. I said I have no problem nor do I abuse people who are riding to work OR sport cyclists who will move off the road or move as much as they can out of the way, those who indicate with their arms, I don't mind... I have no problem, I will make way and move over for you IF YOU ARE DOING AS MUCH AS YOU CAN TO LESSEN YOUR EFFECT ON THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC!

Around here on these country stretches of roads we often have bike lanes that offer a good 1-1.5m of road that is lined off specifically for cyclists, yet these cunts REFUSE to use it and continue to ride on the road.

You are fucking with a serious vehicle, and if so then you accept the consequences as such, whether it be from assholes like me or a truck that is coming around a blind corner and you are THERE WITHOUT WARNING! BANG. You are dead as a result of your decision to ride on a road where trucks, cars and other such shit are moving at HIGH SPEED.

If you continue to rant on at me then I will bring back a video and you will see exactly what I mean.

And yes, I HAVE ridden a bicycle on the roads for nearly half my life before I got my car, and not just around the city, I used to ride anywhere up to 40km a day on country roads where trucks, tractors, cars and all sorts of shit are driving around it was STUPID not to move over a little. I learnt from an early age that the road is a dangerous place to have a bike, but faggots that know this and abuse their right to ride on a road by taking up as much room as they possibly can whilst knowingly irritating drivers who want or need to be somewhere is a fucking pain in the ass.


There is nothing worse than cruising al;ong at 110km/h and then having to slow down for a bunch of cyclists who are pumping their asses with their fists wanking their egos, as someone above kindly put.

There's nothing wrong with riding a bike, but if you're going to ride slowly and hinder traffic, fuck you. Not all people riding bicycles are douchebags about it, but a number of them feel they have some sort of bullshit right to the road. When I ride a bike, I don't get in peoples' fucking way.
