I remember when I was a child, they taught us to ride on the opposite side of the street against traffic. It was so we could see the cars coming that would be closest to us.

Yeah, that's what you're supposed to do if you're on the sidewalk or in a bike lane. If you're riding in the lane, as is legal in every state I've ever lived in, you follow vehicle traffic laws. Of course, you have to contend with people so confused and self-important they start honking and race around you into oncoming traffic and almost kill their entire family, then slow down or stop to yell at you on a bicycle, causing more danger for themselves and other vehicles and scaring their family and probably don't even think outside of their own dumb skulls long enough to realize how many cyclists have had enough close-call incidents and rednecks fucking with them they now carry concealed weapons in those silly little cycling bags.

Just paste the little fuckers right off the side of the road is the proper etiquette.

Remember, if they're not riding single file, the one on the inside is fair game.

Yea, bikers in the street ride with the flow of traffic. I have to bike on the street whenever I'm downtown. Motorists don't appreciate bicycles in the street, but cops will ticket you if you ride on the sidewalk downtown. It's lame.

When I lived in a real rich area a few years ago the back way to the main highway was always full of rich white asshole cyclists wearing their cycling gear like they're in th e tour de France. Hey fuck head, your 45 years old and no one gives a fuck. Now get off the narrow two lane road. Shit head.

This is A1A in Ponte Vedra Beach. Tubby retired folks riding couple thousand dollar bikes in their gear. Branded logo shit too, like what they wear in the Tour. It's a two lane road where if a cop caught you going 65 on the way to Vilano Beach, wouldn't care.

Cyclists aren't the only ones, now I see pedestrians walking/running along the shoulder or partly in the street even when there's a fucking sidewalk. Hell, my town's main street has a double-wide sidewalk and a stretch of brick filled in between where the sidewalk typically starts, and the street curb. There's a good 10+ feet of solid walking space width going on, but yet you still see the occasional elitist twat running along the edge of the road.

This is usually because runners prefer asphalt to concrete - it is softer, and less likely to get shin splints/etc. on. Not a huuuuge difference really, and there's now been quite a bit of research done to show it probably doesn't matter - but that thought has been around for quite a long time and persists. In a previous life I used to be a runner and did the same, but that was 20 years ago, now I'm sure running shoe technology makes the difference even less noticeable.

What kind of retarded shit is that? Who the fuck put it in peoples minds to put bikes on roads unless there is a dedicated bike lane? It just makes no fucking sense to put 20mph traffic smack dab in the middle of 40-50mph traffic.

When I was stationed at camp pendleton I saw a few fucking retarded cyclists going up and down I5.

No shit, bicyclists riding in the lanes on 40-50mph streets downtown? That's insane! And riding IN the lanes on a Freeway?! I have to agree with you: retarded shit, who the fuck, no fucking sense at all! Like literally, the more I think about it, it just doesn't make sense at all.

Well downtown is like ~20 mph traffic with frequent lights. I've easily crossed the area faster than cars during high traffic. It's to protect the pedestrians on the sidewalks from cyclists by exposing the cyclists to the danger of low speed motorists. I just get anxious riding around cars. People open their doors, change lanes, reverse, etc. all without really noticing a cyclist is present and not giving any warning. The moment I leave downtown I get back on the sidewalk.

Siliconemelons · Jul 6, 2015

Out bike lanes are with traffic flow- I don't mind bikers in the main street as long as they do as they are meant to - act as a car and obey the same rules etc. its when they conveniently switch from bike lane to side walk to regular lane to whatever they want... also mopeds on the sidewalk rustles my jimmies quite a bit.

Motherfucker god damn fucking cock sucking fucking monsoon bullshit. Got woken up to the sound of thunder for god knows how long last night at like 4am that sounded like gunshots. Fuck you nature.

When I go out and bring back food to work at lunch. I'm trying to eat my sandwich and people get all goddamn curious:

"Oh where's that from? Oh really, what did you get? Oh I usually get this, it's really good. Do you go there a lot?"

Shut the fuck up, I'm trying to eat!

We all know. Was just pointing out the silly hyperbole of Big P.

It's strange how different places are so different, too. Boise was kinda awesome as their motorists are actually considerate and there were no laws against bikes anywhere really except giving pedestrians the right of way. So, if you weren't wanting to cruise at traveling speeds, nobody seemed too annoyed with you casually on the sidewalks. Spokane sucks, as the roads are shit, the people are shit, shit, etc. Portland is annoying; I'm pro-bicycling and even I get annoyed at them there.

Bikes doesnt require a license, dont require any insurance nor do they pay any taxes or registration.

Well, according to the law, you're wrong. Even on many Freeways. I'm not opposed to bicycling requiring a license for certain conditions, though it would just be a technicality of course, but could help raise funds for more bike lanes. I'm also okay with bicycling requiring insurance... like health insurance, hah. In general, bicycles aren't damaging the roads, so the argument is they shouldn't be paying for road maintenance.

As rustled as you are, let's not pretend it wasn't angry hyperbole when you tried to claim people were regularly riding IN the lane on a freeway, nor that your 'going 20mph in a 40-50 as response to someone mention they ride in the lanes in a downtown. What do you care if someone is on the shoulder of a freeway? What do you care if the person being slow, and you know there's always a ton of them, happens to be on a bike in stop-and-go traffic downtown somewhere?

Honest question: does it rustle you that you're the one paying for bike lanes? Are you like, fuck those bikes. Or are you like, that's cool, get's them out of the lanes? How do you feel about motorized vehicles using bike lanes, cars parked in them, and people driving in them just because they're trying to get around cars to turn or are oblivious?

Actually I kind of like it. I take the robot off and put on the vacuum head for the pole and snorkel vacuum. It's therapeutic in the same way that mowing three acres of grass on a zero turn is. You crack up the suction and see big strips of dirt pull into the vacuum head. Just do the simple task and see the results instantly. Now skimming, fuck that.

Uhh they have signs at the onramps of like every interstate that say no bicycles. The onramp to the section of I5 I was talking about has one of those signs. And just today what did I see? A retard in a motorized wheelchair in the fucking road and again another retard riding a bike in the road against traffic.

I dont have a problem with bikes. The problem i have is with stupid retards who endanger themselves and people around them and retards who think bicycles are entitled to as much of the road as cars are.
