Seen the YouTube video of him interacting with police. Never saw him or the bike in the video. Someone called in because of the shirt. Seriously, you're triggered to call the police because of the shirt?
Actually not a bad idea. Guy looks mentally ill, might be - probably is - a danger to the public. There's at least an implicit threat. Might even rise to the level of brandishing. Let the cops sort it out. Repeatedly.
One must ask, Why did he go to such lengths? What has happened to him in the past to take such preventative measures? The blaze orange signs on his left side? Cars in the bike lane?
He's been hit before, probably a couple of times, and he subsequently kept upping his "I'm highly visible" game to the point you see now. As an old man rider I can empathize, but I would quit ridding long before I became a meme..
Whenever bicyclists get splatted around here some air headed do-gooder puts a white bicycle memorial at the cite. Always wonder: how many of them were trying out for the Darwin Awards?
I'm confused by all those lights. Am I supposed to go, stop or proceed with caution? And if there is no bike lane then I guess all the other lanes are mine.
I went to high school in SF Bay Area in the '60s with a guy who was a skinny long haired hippie type who was putting in a couple of hundred miles a week training for bicycle racing. He'd to at least one long ride a week on the back roads of Contra Costa County in California, which back then were pretty rural and not real welcoming of long haired hippie types. He kept getting harassed and run off the road. So he strapped a holster to his bike and open carried a revolver. Problem solved. But that was when even the Bay Area was still part of the USA.
I hate bicyclists on a highway but I did note when I rode motorcycles, drivers were often blind ... but they always had 20-20 vision if I had a holster.
Carry a whiffle ball bat in the car and have your passenger wail on the stupid prick. I saw that in an old 70's movie titled "Mafia". Whenever they would see one of these assholes they would open up him whaling away from all the windows and the sunroof too. It was one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen. I laugh just thinking of it. If anyone knows where I can get that movie let us all know.

Entitled much? I am sure IT has a wonderful personality.
ReplyDeleteCourse he has arms. How else would he steer?
ReplyDeleteI'll bet that he doesn't stop at stop signs...

DeleteSlightly off topic: I briefly worked with a guy who asked if I had a gun in the navy blue BDU cargo pants I wore to work. Srsly? Paranoid much?
DeleteHes making himself a good target!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking that. If guns are drawn, he's the first to go.
DeletePassive aggressive much?

DeleteAs if bicyclists on the road couldn't get more obnoxious. Was this the guy that the cop accidentally hit with his cruiser from the other story?
ReplyDeleteMaybe his 'Kick me' shirt is in the wash?
ReplyDeleteWord of advice...Stay out of Vermont!
ReplyDeleteNo problem.
DeleteThe cyclist, not you.
DeleteI still ain't going. Y'all talk funny up there.
DeleteGoing for a job interview according to the sign.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he got turned down for driving the Weinermobile so took the next best thing.
ReplyDeleteMust be ex navy....still wearing his dress white leotards and going to and applying for a skilled position. He has man skills.
ReplyDeleteAssholes - every single one of them. Entitled, arrogant, assholes. Always glad to see them run down.

ReplyDeleteNothing that a near-sighted semi driver couldn't solve-

DeleteAny juror will acquit the guy who runs him over.
ReplyDeleteAnd that would be wrong. Very wrong.
Give him a medal.
