Re: Bike riders in the street
 

Seriously, who the hell rides in the middle of the road? No one does that here. Riding in the middle of the road is only done when there's no traffic and it's safe to do. It's basically unheard of unless you're riding through the country on roads with gravel shoulders. We ride on the shoulder and get in the grass/sidewalk/gutter when cars come by and people still throw ---- and harass us.

I have never in my life been held up by someone riding in the middle of the road in the city. I have in the country but when that happens all that you need to do is slow down until it's safe to pass. I would assume most of the time, riders watch out more for cars than the drivers of cars watch out for bikes. Seeing as how they have more to loose...

You're a ------- faggot. Hands down. ---- road bikes. ---- fixed gear. ---- those delivery guys.

Fact.

I've been doing this ---- for going on 14 years now. No, i'm not pro. No i dont compete. No, i'm not a douche to motorists (car weighs more than a bike. That's just life, or the end of it if you think you own the road). I just ride my free skateparks, trails and street spots with my friends.

Re: Bike riders in the street
 

Road bikes > you. I rode BMX for awhile, but you can't ride a bmx bike 30 miles. I agree that fixed gear is gay, the whole bike currier thing is homosexual, but there's nothing wrong with road bikes. I don't race or ware spandex or any of that bullshit, but there's nothing wrong with going and riding with a couple friends on a day off :1

------- faggots take up the entire lane here "because they can"... Just not even a week ago i was in some gay ass 10MPH traffic on a 50MPH stretch of road (two lanes.....)... Some ------- on a road bike in the middle of the ------- slow lane. Just omne bike. Ithrew a can at his ass as I went by.

Re: Bike riders in the street
 

Who ever wrote the law that bikes need to stay on the highway with cars obviously did not ride a bike cause if its between me breaking the law and riding on the sidewalk or riding in the street with 3000+ lbs autos Im gonna choose self preservation and not ride with objects that can kill me.

I don't care what the law says if you ride on the street cause you want to "abide by the law" when there is an open sidewalk then yeah your gonna get fucked with and for good reason.

I don't HAVE to hold a door open when you are walking up to it, I do it cause im a decent human being not cause i have to. Same applies.

If i followed all state laws then i would have to honk at each car i passed, it would be illegal to tickle women and if your not married you would never get laid. ever.

Re: Bike riders in the street
 

WTF, who comes up with this crap?

"Boogers may not be flicked into the wind."

"It is legal to drive the wrong way down a one-way street if you have a lantern attached to the front of your automobile."

"Putting salt on a railroad track may be punishable by death."

"Women are able to retain all property they owned prior to marriage in the case of divorce. However, this provision does not apply to men."

Re: Bike riders in the street
 

Those are laws that were probaly put on the books YEARS AND YEARS ago, and nobody has ever bothered to remove them. I mean, who the ---- hangs a lantern on the from of their car??

Re: Bike riders in the street
 

like dude said, probably old ass laws.

Also, a lot of BS laws get passed just by being attached to other "important" bills.
