The anger is quite well earned. On the flip side, if a cyclist stays at the edge of the road and understands that they could easily become road pizza and act courteous, I don't mind them so much.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on bike paths for these grape smuggling faggots and they REFUSE to use them or even follow basic traffic laws. Doesn't even raise an eyebrow anymore for me when I hear another one of them has been turned into a bloody skidmark.
This used to burn my ass driving into work on West River Drive in Philadelphia in the morning. The city put in a perfectly good bike path just off the road, but groups of 10 or 20 would peddle their Lycra-clad heinies right down the middle of the road. And God help you if you hit one of them.
Highway money spent on bike paths in congested areas instead of expanding lanes…i think the TDS commenter has HDS syndrome, and may be in your picture.
In our over 55 development south of Tucson this was common. What burned my ass was 8-10 feet wide EMPTY sidewalks, EMPTY parking spaces, and EMPTY bicycle lanes. Neighborhoods full of fatherless males are more civil and considerate.
Aussies call them 'MAMLS' Middle-Aged Men in Lycra. They ride a mile to the Starbucks and act like they are in the Tour De France with their 'clickity clickity shoes and lycra shorts and tops and big bellies'.
One other thing cars do more efficiently than bicycles is blow debris out of the lane. In this case you can actually see it. The car lanes are free of rocks, the bike lanes are not. So, naturally, cyclists impede on the car lanes to avoid bike lane rocks. This problem would be solved if they'd just open bike lanes to vehicular traffic. It'll give cars more room, clear the debris, and not interfere with the bikes, since they are already in the car lanes. It's a wonder traffic planners aren't calling me for advice.
Cycle scum doing what they do best, inconveniencing others.

ReplyDeleteI dont ride bicycles but your hatred of bicycles is similar to TDS. irrational
ReplyDeleteOh, shut the fuck up.
DeleteI run HUMOR and weird stories and news from 12am until 9am, political and current events after that in case you haven't noticed.
WC, "Oh, shut the fuck up" should be the motto of this blog!
DeleteI think I can safely say "kiss our collective asses" on this forum.

Cyclists are the reason people hate bicycles. They're entitled, obnoxious assholes.

ReplyDeleteStephan Pastis pegged them via his "Jef" character. In Charlotte they f-up traffic in Myers Park all the time on what they call the "Booty Loop".

Roads require a $1000 bicycle decal….
