I always see idiots ridding their bikes in the street when a sidewalk is available, turning with traffic, headlights, helmets, rear lights etc.. If you ever ask them about it, they will become rantingly passionate of how bikers have the right of way, laws, etc... Shit.. But try lecturing bikers rights to a semi-trucks 18 wheels, and I know who'll win.. |

But try lecturing bikers rights to a semi-trucks 18 wheels, and I know who'll win.. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7679497 The sidewalk is for pedestrians, not bicycles. Bicycles belong on the road, except where prohibited, like the interstate. The "ego driven" are the ones in the cars and trucks who think they own the road and have the right to harass or intimidate bicyclists or other drivers.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7679497 i know. it's crazy. there are hundreds of great streets to bicycle on around here, but hell no they will be on the busy 4 lane road with cars and trucks pilled up behind them. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 9899905 Australia 01/30/2012 10:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Each day I see people bicycling down the middle of a busy 4 lane roads. People driving cant even see a big vehicle in the middle of the road much less a person on a tiny bicycle. Exercise is great, but why do it in heavy traffic with tights on. Quoting: OVRANALYZE yep..wonder about the same thing lol. I think they have a death wish |

roadtoad User ID: 1402326 United States 01/30/2012 10:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Actually, we don't have a death wish, we don't have the money for a car. And yes, the law says we have to ride on the road, not the side walk. I do everything in my power to stay to the outside, but, with the way some people park, and construction, and people leaving signs out in the road, I guarantee you that I am praying every moment I'm out there. And with 20% unemployment, and rising, in California, I'll bet that some of you good people will be out there with me soon. |

ScepticalSam User ID: 9672649 United Kingdom 01/30/2012 10:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Anyone driving who cant see a cyclist shouldnt be fracking driving in the first place...its called driving with DUE CARE AND ATTENTION, and if drivers cant be assed watching whats going on around them take their cars off them and make them walk. FFS I bet more than half the cars are full of fatties munching candy bars chatting on cell phones and not looking whats going on around them. BAN the cars and make everyone cycle...problem solved |

lionhound User ID: 9895669 United States 01/30/2012 10:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | where I live they added bike lanes because triathaletes like training in the area. Do you think they use the lanes my taxes paid for? Hell no. They won't even ride single file. Two and three abreast. Blocking traffic on a hilly, winding, dangerous road. They absolutely take over the roads on weekends by the hundreds. Then they get peeved when we "ruin" their downhill desent just because we want to get home by turning into our driveway. |
