I love bicycle lanes. Good ones that is. I have seen too many cyclists summarily dismiss them. Some (few) based on my observations are poorly thought out. Some here in NOLA are completely within the swing radius of car doors. I avoid those. When you get doored, 90% of the time you get knocked out into traffic. A Coast Guard bud of mine got doored and it tore his bicep almost completely in half. He was knocked into a travel lane and were it not for an alert motorist he would have been run over. Most of the motoring public sees a cyclist avoiding a bike lane and they automatically think "azzhole" You can't really blame them if they don't recognize the threat that a cyclist may see. You seem to object to my postings. Let me ask you to identify a single point I have made that is incorrect or shows that I am discourteous to other road users. If you are going to hold up my mere presence on the road as an example, then there's not a conversation to be had.

In writing you god damn cyclists always act prim and proper, on the road is where your true colors shine! Something about that seat post up your azz that flips the switch, you people just don’t realize it’s happening.

I probably shouldn't get you started on the way we all dress. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/PJwXLnPv/67639901-10217082226762331-6163272683871010816-n.jpg)

Dress like Antifa and go where they go you will be associated and thought to be with them, same on a bicycle.

Well we're Green and we're Gold, and we play better when it's cold. All us Cheese heads have our favorite superstar. We love Brett Favre.

Whelenman, they don’t have to they choose to! One can only speculate the reasoning...

Why do the have to dress like faaaaggots? The tight spandex/lycra clothing actually is functional on a couple of levels. 1. Moisture wicking 2. Aerodynamics. Somewhere above 15 mph wind resistance starts to really come into play. 3. Bright colors make them more noticeable to cell phone zombies and others on the road. 4. For some it almost seems to be status signaling. Some of the road bike group are very much elitist and look down on guys like me. They even have a term for us "Freds". A "Fred" (if I understand right doesn't worry about how much his bike weighs or if it has the currently faddish gear, if he wears any bike specific kit at all the colors might or might not match the rest of his stuff. Real cyclists when I ride by have a tendency to ignore me. Considering how much bike traffic I see out here I very seldom actually see riders on the routes I ride. In the online world bicyclists very much seems to be fairly heavily left politically. A lot of environmentalists and anti vehicle stuff. Some of the Live Car Free types are way out there.

As long as I am in a place I have a legal right to be, and I am behaving in a legal manner why would anyone have a problem with it? Perhaps because the guys on bikes that dress like Birdy don't ride three abreast across a windy road so when I come around a corner on my motorcycle with a girl on the back our lives are not put in danger, Dressing like the spandex fools places you as their associate.. BTW I didn't have time to stop and if a vehicle would have been coming in the opposite direction I would have been forced to hit a bicyclist or oncoming cars. This was not the first time or an isolated incident, Spandex dressing bikers are like pit bulls some may be OK but the percentage of bad ones ruin it for all.

If you think fishermen are liars, when is the last time you asked a cyclist how far he road his bike today?
