Most of the time they aren't annoying and I like how they set the example for habits we all should be taking
Mr.City said:Wow at all the cycling rage. In the suburbs, there's hardly any place on the road to ride my bike. It's always the same shit though. Pedestrians bitch cyclists on the side walk for going too fast and people on the road bitch about cyclist blocking the way of their SUVs.
FLEABttn said:When I used to be a cyclist, I hated riding on the road. Fucking cars are insane. If I could use the sidewalk, I would, because I could stop better for people than a car could for me as well as it got me away from the crazy car drivers.
I don't care if I had a right to using the road, I didn't want to be there if I could avoid it.

It was at least $20,000
Also its illegal to ride bicycles on the pavement in the UK. My dad's friend was killed in January having been ran over by car (apparently the driver was blinded by the sun) and just ran over all three who were on the side of the road. Link
So they're lucky she didn't just decide to take out both of them, she's obviously not quite right.

Some people who pull the whole "lol u ride a bike" argument are ignorant of the fact that bicylces like time trial cycles can cost $8000.SupahBlah said:My friends bicycle cost a lot more than my car. :lol

Just think of it as a really expensive tennis racquet.xsarien said:While I'll agree that riding a bike in an urban environment should be an Olympic sport, $8k is a bit much to spend on anything so easily stolen, damaged or generally abused by its surroundings.

Well, most people who own really expensive cycles tend to use them to compete in triathlons and such. My most expensive cycle is $600 stock, and I couldn't justify spending any more than that since I don't belong to a club or race.

Sounds like you're thinking of fixed-gear hipsters.xsarien said:You generally don't leave your tennis racket tied to a parking meter while you're taking a break at Jamba Juice.

Two cyclists (father and son) went for a ride on Pontevedra, road between Mougás and Baiona (Spain), when some kind of lady-monster driver got close behind them. When she realized she could't go past them...
Coolio McAwesome said:Why, exactly, couldn't she go past them? Were these cyclists completely oblivious to the fact they were slowing traffic down, or were they making a conscious effort to piss this woman off? If the road was big enough for the cyclists to pull over and let the car go by then, by all means, they should have pulled over. On the other hand, if the road was so narrow that there was no room for a bike to pull over to let a car go by, then cyclists shouldn't have been on the road in the first place.
GenericPseudonym said:No its a bunch of out of shape 50 year old fucks who bike really slowly in the middle of the god damn road that piss me off. Really who even uses bikes in the suburbs? I don't see many kids on their bikes these days, just fucking old people.
quadriplegicjon said:they dont use the bikes to travel places. its a sport/hobby for most. damn those people for having a healthy hobby!!!!!!
xsarien said:You better check with the local fuzz (or a website). Riding on the sidewalk is illegal in Los Angeles, San Francisco and probably a host of other places as well.

xsarien said:Doesn't matter, you need to take that shit to the street, you're not 10.
Personally, I've found that the majority of cyclists in town are pretty smug bastards. Riding on sidewalks, riding against traffic, weaving through traffic, trying to take their bikes onto streetcars, blowing through lights and at least in one case blowing a light and hitting someone crossing the street.
Yet the moment they're called on it they treat their precious fixed-gear like it's a wooden cross and they're Jesus.

In most of the United States

TO
BICYCLE
ON THE
SIDEWALK
Bicyclists are mandated to ride in the road. Here in Philadelphia, this goes for cyclists over 12 years of age, for example.
