Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire White Trash Throwing Trash at Bicyclists

Paulie B - if you encounter a herd of phaggots rollerblading 3 wide in a no passing zone with steady on coming traffic how long would you say they get before they are asswholes?

Is this how you thought this thread would work out Paul?

Face it, people can't stand you idiots. 🤣🤣🤣

Is there any difference between them and bicyclists

Well yeah that explains it.........I think!

We have a blacktopped trail 50 feet off the road for bikes and walkers and they still ride in the road. When asked why I was told it was a pain in the ass going around the slow walkers. You can’t make this stuff up

You can say that again!

Seriously I think most people just like to gripe about stuff.
My pet gripes are

Slow movers or aisle blockers when shopping.
Rap music loud enough to feel.
Those A-holes that bebop through the crosswalk at the speed of a sloth.
Anybody looking at their phone when driving.
Any retard with a pro Democrat sticker.

When I go to town I always feel some nostalgia for the days when I was riding around in a HMMWV with a M2 up top and 2 M240's on swing arms.

I should feel honored that aggrievedSteve90210 took a break from his sky is falling agenda to join me here. Will spandex spell the end of the world?

I should run a dump truck at 10MPH through there. That'd be fun! Mr Hot Shoes would probably get the message quick.

Dump truck is WAY EASIER to see... than a rainbow G String on a Freddie Mercury wannabee...

Not criticizing... only pointing out relevant math.

I have never had a dozen cars behind me. Anytime any car approaches from the rear I am looking for ways to work them around me. I take a very cooperative approach to riding on the road. I doubt anyone has ever been behind me for more than 30 seconds. All of us have been hung up by an inconsiderate motorist for longer than that. Hell, I'll get held up more by other cars today than I have held up motorists over the whole of my bicycle riding life.

Simple math comes into play in civil lawsuits too.

Glad I could help. I am here to be of disservice to petulant grown men.

Do you throw trash at them?

No, but I do cuss a lot.

Great question. I'd first assess why they might be three wide. There may be a reason for it. Then I'd do what I always do when pedestrians, cyclists, roller bladers doing that Apollo Onho back and forth thing, people with dogs on leashes etc. are spread across the path. I'd slow as I approached them, announce my presence, tell them that I am easing around their left, pass with minimal speed disparity and exchange pleasantries with them as I passed.

I don't think that brush passing them at a comparatively high rate of speed and throwing schidt at them is the right thing to do.

Why would I think otherwise? I am doing this for your therapy. It's good for you to get it out of your system.

I don't normally bike on the road because I'm afraid to, reading this thread doesn't help. I get that a rider needs to be very careful about moving to the right to let cars pass since many of them will crowd past without consideration as to how close their car or their mirror may be to the rider, It's better to have them move left to make a conscious pass. There are a percentage of roadies that make a point of riding siding by side and claiming a whole lane "because it's their right" that really piss people off and cause some of this hate. I remember following bicycles on buisy park roads where I couldn't pass in the oncoming lane, that wouldn't even move over to let me pass on my motorcycle, dicks.

Where I ride is well away from town. With the long sight lines it isn't too bad as a place to ride. I've had a couple of close passes and one guy who turned into his driveway right after hurrying to pass me. I don't know if he was being a dick or just misjudged my speed, but I almost slammed into the side of him. I had a pretty good tailwind that day so was moving right along.

The Live Car Free crowd are by far the worst of the cyclist types, judging off what they write on the bike forum. Those people are nuts.

As an aside have you tried Rouvy or Zwift? I've been using Rouvy for the last 3 weeks and it makes indoor cycling for fitness a whole lot more interesting.
