Well don't be surprised if someone runs you over if you retaliate like that while so vulnerable.

this one critical mass in san francisco (its an awesome huge monthly ride where we stop traffic for a good 5 to 20 minutes), this guy tried to run over people with his mini cooper. ALL windows were bashed and all tires slashed.

I wasn't talking to you but if you are on a bicycle you are definately vulnerable to a car.

my bicycle is my only form of transportation apart from public transit. im not a fan of the spandex and helmet wearing, stop-at-red-lights, block the road, think they're cars cyclists, but theyre a more than a step above anyone that would consider throwing stuff at a cyclist.
i understand that im not a car. i go through red lights. i ride wherever i need to get where i'm going, be it road, sidewalk, parking lot, or shopping mall (this is fun). i don't block lanes because the last thing i want is a car tailgating me.
the simple solution is universal bike lanes

Not to diverge too far off topic..... But what are some good places to live if you like to bike ride to get around. I bike ride for the fun of it, always had a car to get around. But now that I can't drive for a while, I'm looking for more pedestrian bicyclist friendly communities to look into. Maybe work as a messenger part time or something

I have to jump in on this.
1. Not all people who ride bikes in the street are bad. By law, they need to ride bikes on the street.
2. BUT, they do not need to ride in the middle of the fucking lane. There is no law which states they cannot ride next to the curb to let auto traffic move past them.
I was once stuck behind a fucking cyclist. I beeped my horn to alert him that I was behind him (and wanted to move past him). The asshole just kept biking, as if I wasn't there. I couldn't pass him. What a fuck!
Growing up riding bikes, I would ALWAYS move to the side of the road when a car was behind me because it was best for my own safety and for the sake of courtesy. Contrast this with other forms of courtesy: Imagine not letting someone pass you in the hallway because you have a 'right' to be there.
Fucking cyclists.

They do the same thing in Seattle too. Typical metropolitan liberal bullshit. What great aim are you trying to achieve by stopping traffic for 20 minutes? This only serves to divide people, some further extension of class warfare collectivist nonsense.
The reality is that if a cyclist can't keep up with the flow of traffic, he is a hazard to himself and everyone else on the road. Now I've logged quite a few hours on the bike myself so when a cyclist is on the road, I give him room and watch out for him, but it's really fucking annoying.
It's really no different than a lttle granny who won't drive her car more than 20mph, the main difference being that unlike the little granny in a car, the cyclist is not protected by steel and thus makes his immediate wellbeing the responsibility of everyone else around him.

...sooo, because the cyclist is more vulnerable, you should throw bottles at him? You dont throw things at elderly do you? And cyclists arent too vulnerable at red lights. We can retaliate then go on the sidewalk/grass/terrain to get away from you crazy fucks, justice served. But its true, you shouldnt retaliate while their vehicle is moving. Thats why i warn motorcyclists not to carry car-bashing weapons. Their weapon is much larger, and you have a much harder time to escape.

Plus,in Illinois it's illegal to ride on the free/tollways. but yea...he passed by cops, so i guess mexico city doesnt care. Although its not like the cop coulda done anything in that traffic anyway.

I know what you mean about the cyclists. I ride my bicycle to work every day and i see a lot of cyclists all around. They take up half the road lane! wtf!? I like to use the sidewalks for riding when there's a ton of traffic like there always is. god i hate city living.

I never said you should throw bottles at them buddy, I said I watch out for them so I don't kill them. Why the attitude?
You can't refute the fact that as a cyclist you are incapable of maintaining the flow of traffic, therefore you are a hazard and a tyranny to everyone else who can. That doesn't mean you should be injured or killed on purpose, it just means that you are a pain in the ass. Admit that, show some humility as a cyclist, I'll continue to watch out for your annoying ilk and we can all work together to avoid your injury.

They cyclist have to ride on the roads so they are equal to cars. So a car is equally a pain in the ass to a cyclist as a cyclist is a pain in the ass to a motorist. They share the road believe it or not.

ah, yea, youre right. sorry mate. but that annoyed attitude is the very same reason people use to justify throwing bottles at em, so i assumed you do and made an ass out of u and me. =p i ride on back roads. traffic is never my problem. i just gotta watch out for people with attitudes and no self control.

Ok, didn't read past page two really but I have to say they piss me off too. In fact, they usually scare me more than that... because I obviously don't want to hit them. So when your riding your bike in the dark coming towards me at a closing rate of probably 60mph it tests my nerves a bit.
People who do that are insane and have a death wish if you ask me, which is why it wouldn't bother me as much when they do get hit. And god help them if they think they're going to fuck with someone in a car, because unless they have a gun i'd say they are definitely going to die.
