Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire banzai bicyclists

My wife and are are approaching a 4 way intersection with a traffic light. We have the green light and are set to cross the intersection when from our right, comes a suicidal bicyclist. He's on the sidewalk, then into the cross walk, on the wrong side of the road, and going through a red light, and for that matter, a do not walk light for pedestrians. Cathy locked up the brakes, laid on the horn, gave him the stink eye, and used some sailor's language not fit for your tender ears, gentlemen. She couldn't have missed him by more than 6 inches. The dufus is lucky he's alive. Why is it that bicyclists think the rules of the road never apply to them?

Austinites?

Against the law here to ride on sidewalk.
On the road, obey the rules like other vehicles.

Used to ride a bike a fair bit.

Seen DUI types and punks ride without a clue.
Doesn't bother me when they turn into road pizza.

Having said that, doing everything right on a bike...........seems to annoy the hell out of a lot of car drivers.
They can get aggressive/dangerous too.

What gets me..............folks riding in dark clothes, at night, no lights...........and just cutting here and there.

Fuggin deathwish.

Usually some idiot on way to stop n rob or liquor store.

I look for idiot motor and pedal bike folks............and have so far been lucky in not splattering a couple at night.

Have watched them texting and riding..................never looking up.
As if riding the wrong way is to help w safety.

LMFAO.

Doubt the crackheads are organ donors.

You'd have to search long and hard to find a worse group of human beings.

The bicyclists I hate are the ones that can't ride single file but insist on riding two or three abreast so they can talk and socialize, acting as though it's their right to do so and the motorists are out of line.

The other day I saw one actually stop for a stop sign, a day later I saw one use hand signals for making a turn. Must be something in the water.

The worst of the worst are the racing bike types, they drive like they are racing everywhere they go and you just better look out for them.

Most adults on bicycles who are hobby or part time riders, or drunks who no longer have a driver's license, simple act worse than little children with no regard whatsoever for traffic laws.

If you are ever in an RV resort, heads up for the little old blue hairs on their tricycles. Terrifying.

fuggin' sprocket heads........

even in Florida

I once heard that the low form of a human is a Texasen. It was something about taking scalps. So how does Floridians compare?

Yeap. Ghost bikes are supposed to be reminders.

Stupid Maybe........

would you yield/slow down for her ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Rear ended her I am sure

Only times I wished I had a Cummins:

Yellow spandex seasoned with a liberal helping of diesel.

Because the cops never pull them over. They're free to break any law they like.

Obey the rules of the road like everyone else and I'll do my best to give you room to ride...just that simple.
