I wouldn't do anything to injure them. Maybe just a coke in one of those fast food paper cups.

I ride my bike a lot. Albeit a bike that is worth more than my DSM, but still. I just ride on the shoulder so cars can easily pass me. And when I'm stopped at a light I immediately veer to the side when it turns green. I'm acutely aware of traffic and never hold them up. What pisses me off though is when there's absolutely zero traffic and some dumbfuck honks at me because they refuse to even move their car over 2". You cars have the full road and us bikers just have the shoulder. If people could be considerate for even 0.01 seconds of their miserable lives; we may be able to get along. I do agree that when bikers hold up traffic they're idiots though. They give us a bad name. A good biker can get where he needs to go without holding anyone up or putting themselves at risk. As with cars; some people just shouldn't be riding a bike because they have the athletic ability of a slug and the endurance of Fat Albert. Also, no spandex or faggy ---- for me thank-you.

Nothing tops what I witnessed a couple weeks ago though. I was sitting in the Mcdonald's drive-through and this moronic bitch in an SUV (of course) in front of me started honking at the person in front of her! Now what kind of genetic refuse does that? Does she think she'll get through any faster? If I had a gun with me I'd have popped her skull all over her nice leather interior.

im a road rider.

the arrogant, ignorant comments posted here are crazy.

bicycles are a vehicle, can ride side by side in the street, and can legally take the lane, most often in the city, to stay safe, to prevent getting pushed into kerb and parked cars etc

however backing up traffic and blocking roads is dangerous and illegal, but still happens.

cyclists have the same rights/responsibilities as drivers.

i do alot of riding in inner city areas, ive lost count of the number of side mirrors ive punched off, as a result of having ---- thrown at me, of being sideswiped / cut off etc.

i've lost count of the times my u-lock has smashed through the laminated windscreens of local taxis, drivers with similar attitudes to some of the posters here.....


just remember that in traffic, you cant run if you're in a car, bike wiil catch you

Didn't you know that honking increases the rate of speed that food deep fries at? Maybe she had a medical condition and needed the trans-fat immediately?

No one asked you to ride to work, but it's not the person on the bikes fault that you have to procrastinate and speed to work because you can't leave 15 minutes early...

Maybe I missed it, but where did I say I procrastinate or have to speed to work? All I said is my job shouldn't be affected by ******* taking their sweet time being in the way and going way below the speed limit.

How is it not the fault of the people on the bike that there are people on bikes in my ------- way that are unwilling to move or at least go a faster speed than coasting?

I'm not complaining about the ones that make a valid attempt at NOT ------- up the flow of traffic. I'm talking about the nasty old queers in their tights riding in the middle of the ------- road at their own comfortable pace with a parade of traffic behind them spouting this "I have the same rights" bullshit.

I don't give a flying ---- if you have the "same rights" because you're on a bike. It doesn't mean you have to willingly be a complete douchebag. Unless you're a complete retard, you know that you will be in the way of traffic while riding your bike on the road. You are aware that others will be trying to go the posted speed limit and might possibly have a reason for going the speed limit. You should at least acknowledge that there are people trying to get by.

When a group of people is walking down a narrow hallway, do you walk as slow as possible and get in people's way because you have the right to and not expect to be harassed? No, you move or get pushed out of the way.

I pay taxes, tolls, gas, insurance, etc so that I can travel at a decent speed, NOT so I can leisurely go down the road with a spandex-wearing queer taking his precious time riding in the middle of the road so he can go meet his fagmates at the local gay-bike-club to talk about how they have the same rights as motorists so it's OK to cause traffic problems.

If I pulled out a big black telescoping baton on you, you'd probably just flash back to your meth days and try to wrap your delicate peter puffers around it...

baton > 4000lb Spiker.
