That don't follow the traffic laws is gospel

For ALL road users at an equal rate. https://bicyclecoalition.org/study-shows-cyclists-motorists-break-law-rate-anti-cyclist-angst/

The only difference is that when cyclists break the law they pose a much lower risk to other road users.

It's painfully obvious that I was spot on with the emotional intelligence deficit. You are a male, you are white. That leaves middle aged, poorly educated and out of shape. Not between 45-65? In good physical shape? If so give me an example of how you think you are in good physical shape. If I am wrong on the well educated, I get that. There are a lot of very well educated liberals that are dumber than a basket full of vibrators.

I'm sure glad the pedal biker in the vid survived. That was a harrowing experience they can tell their grandchildren? And even on video, that's amazing.

It would suit me well if LE would give the driver and passenger 2 choices. Clean up trash along that roadway one day a week for a year or to be dropped off in a remote location with the group of cyclists with a promise of no repercussions for anyone. Something tells me they'd bail quickly on their bully mentality.

I don't understand anyone throwing stuff at them, seems like a very low level of impulse control.

This strikes at the heart of it. People's indignation over the presence of cyclists is far out of proportion to any inconvenience they might suffer.

I could drive from here to a place I often go about 10 miles away. There is a 90% chance I'll miss at least one light cycle on account of a motorist who was dicking with their phone or otherwise didn't go when the light turned green. There's a 90% chance that a motorist will drift out of lane while in my field of view and about a 10% chance one will drift into my lane when I am beside them. There's about a 97.24% chance that a slow moving motorist in the left lane of the interstate will force cars to pass to their right. There's about a 5% chance I'll encounter a bicyclist and a very slim chance I'll have to do anything more than move over to go around them.

But spandex!


Exactly. Spandex really pisses me off. On a man, LOL!!


that's for gay people

The only part you got correct is that im a white male. Theres no reason to delve into the rest as I'm surely not a liberal. I am an [bleep], admittedly and you seem to be bent out of shape that I'm an honest [bleep]. I don't like bicyclists, whether or not my reasoning is unreasonable or not is moot. I wouldn't throw anything at them but they do get on my nerves for the reasons that I listed. I also hate the d!cks that stand at the gas station buying scratch offs in complete oblivion to the line of irritated people forming behind them. Again. Inconvenience.

I'm not defending or sympathetic with littering (unless you're on a reservation, then it's mandatory). Nor am I defending picking on fàggots. I just don't see the crisis. If the girls on the bikes get the folks in the car to catch a littering citation that's reasonable. If they claim some kind of assault (which dollars to donuts they probably will) that's weak pûssy bs.

YMMV

... or to be dropped off in a remote location with the group of cyclists with a promise of no repercussions for anyone.

You are suggesting a large group of gay bicyclist should 50:1 a single little bug guy and gang rape him repeatedly?

Seems odd...

...or maybe a Fantasy???


If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

I'll make a point here...maybe not the one you had in mind...Automobiles are steel cages, weighing in most cases at least 3000 lbs. My truck weighs 6200 lbs. The car/truck is wrapped around you with all sorts of safety devices in the cabin, mainly multiple air bags. When riding a bicycle, you are wrapped around the small alloy frame on two wheels. The impact suffered by people driving cars or trucks is mainly absorbed by the vehicle. The impact when a cyclist wrecks is absorbed by the cyclist. You lose, often your life, even if you are in the right regarding traffic laws.

Who does see the crisis? I haven't seen anyone positing this as a crisis.

It's worth knowing that there are anti-harassment laws written into many state's code.

This is Missouri's 4th degree assault code.

  565.056. Assault in the fourth degree. — 1. A person commits the offense of assault in the fourth degree if:

  (1) The person attempts to cause or recklessly causes physical injury, physical pain, or illness to another person;

  (2) With criminal negligence the person causes physical injury to another person by means of a firearm;

  (3) The person purposely places another person in apprehension of immediate physical injury;

  (4) The person recklessly engages in conduct which creates a substantial risk of death or serious physical injury to another person;

  (5) The person knowingly causes or attempts to cause physical contact with a person with a disability, which a reasonable person, who does not have a disability, would consider offensive or provocative; or

  (6) The person knowingly causes physical contact with another person knowing the other person will regard the contact as offensive or provocative.

  2. Except as provided in subsection 3 of this section, assault in the fourth degree is a class A misdemeanor.

  3. Violation of the provisions of subdivision (3) or (6) of subsection 1 of this section is a class C misdemeanor unless the victim is a special victim, as the term "special victim" is defined under section 565.002, in which case a violation of such provisions is a class A misdemeanor.

I proposed to my state legislator a few years ago that bikes ridden on the road should be registered and have to pay some type of fee for said registration.

There is a pretty extensive rail to trail that runs near me. Pizzed me off that last summer they built a bridge to carry the bicycles and runners over a local roadway to the tune of $1.2MILLION+!!!! while meanwhile our local roads suck!!!

Well thank you very much for that Captain Obvious. The rule of gross tonnage. Duh. In the average year fewer than 1000 bicyclists lose their lives in accidents. There are over 40,000 motor vehicle deaths. Should I be afraid of driving too?
