This was probably fun up until they learned that the cyclists had video cameras.

Audio from my link... AT THE SAME TIME you watch Paul's whine.

Disgusting pukes. No better than poachers or gang bangers.
It shows how weak the human mind is for many. That gang mentality whereas someone hates cyclist for some reason (who knows why... because they are fat slobs and cyclists are are doing something they enjoy to stay in shape?), but it is a pitiful example of feeble mindedness and low I.Q.
I am not a road cyclist but mountain bike on occasion. Never understood the redneck mentality of hating cyclists.
People who throw trash out on the ground are no better.

Not excusing the trash, but why are the bicyclists riding abreast taking up a whole lane?

Low class pieces of cshit. I wonder what the penalties for that was? Littering ain’t cheap fines if caught??

Cuz they are ass-holes.

Because in most states they are legally allowed to. Contact your representative to find out why.

EXACTLY...

Bike events in Virginia all the time... Zero issues... zero drama.

Bikes stay in line and reasonably small groups...

Mutual accommodation abounds.

Went by one yesterday in a 8'-9' wide dually... Hundreds of riders... over 10-20 miles

Happy happy all parties... no bull chit.

It ain't rocket science...

Fugg a stupid bicyclist.

Up until my back surgery and loss of balance and stability I used to bicycle 1500-2000 miles a year. On two way streets we maintained single file or two abreast unless there was traffic going the same direction and then it was single. I experienced the same thing many times plus getting "buzzed", crowded, and pelted.
However, and not excusing the boorish behavior of the motorists in the video, two riders taking up a whole lane if it is two way just seems to inflame these azzhole drivers.
I started " carrying" after being run off the road and being threatened by a car load of punks.

Google Fu...

Pure stupidity...

In Oregon they may ride abreast if they are not impeding traffic. The law does not specify if being forced to change lanes is impeding.

Nevertheless, on a road that has a speed limit that will allow for a large disparity of speeds between bikes and cars, it is stupid and arrogant.

The only thing that makes it “stupid ass-holes” is when they have their associated truck following behind them going a whole 15MPH in a 55MPH lane and they are spread out over 100 yards. Idiots.

Here in America they tend to slide right when they hear the rattle of the diesel engine....or not, and we have to mash the fuel a bit harder....that's not good for either of us with $5 fuel.

Im ok with it. Bikers have no place on a road. Dickheads around here think they own it and will hold up dozens of cars at will. Throwing trash at them should be the least of their worries

Dont hate anyone who bikes. My family and i do at times, in the woods. Not on a f u c king road tying up traffic though. Clowns should be arrested or allowed to be beaten

Easy fix, dont ride a bike on thr road at 10mph killing all traffic flow. Stay on the shoulder or dont ride on the road

Not defending the people throwing trash but mixing automobiles and bicycles is a bad idea. Tucson considers itself bicycle friendly and has bicycle lanes. There are accidents at least once a week and the automobile always wins. Don't know the answer.

Steve let's play with that question a bit. It's a common one that often people don't think all the way through. A bicyclist riding alone or in a single file would want a cushion of about 2 feet from the right hand edge of the road. There are several reasons for this. A bicyclist would occupy a footprint of about 3 feet from elbow to elbow if you add in a very little lateral movement. We are at about 5 feet of lane use at this point. Now lets add in a safe passing distance of 3 feet since that's what most states specify as minimum. The right hand edge of the car would be 8 feet from the curb at this point. An average car width mirror to mirror would be about 7 feet. That's 15 feet total we are at now. With that total, the car would have to at least partially enter the left lane to pass the cyclists.

Whether the cyclists are side by side or in single file the motorist will need to enter the left lane to pass. Tests have shown that it will take cars longer to pass a line of cyclists than if the cyclists were spread out in a single line. In this case being side by side meant saving the driver time spent in the passing lane.

Now, let me ask you this question. Given the complete lack of other motor vehicle traffic and the fact that they would have to move at least partially into left lane anyway, why does it matter that the cyclists were side by side?

There were no cars "held up" in the making of this video.

There was no traffic "tied up" in the making of this video, although I have a hunch that the idiots in the car were the kind that would brag to the entire trailerhood that they threw schidt at spandex clad ffaaggs holding up traffic.

I hate to see people litter.

Something biodegradable and heavier would have worked better for the intended purpose.

Serious question, what makes it a bad idea in your mind?

Do these cyclists that occupy tax payer funded road ways, pay vehicle taxes and use taxes, or are they getting a free ride, no pun intended.

I only throw biodegradable trash at bicyclists. 12-16" scrap 2x4's seem about ideal to me. And being a contractor I can always claim they flew off my truck while I was going down the road.

Which is nice.

They pay tax when they buy their bikes. The tax on gasoline falls way short of being able to fully fund state and federal roadways. General fund moneys that ALL taxpayers kick into are used to build and fund federal and state roadways. Property taxes and ad valorem taxes are the primary source of funding for county and local roads. Moreover, most cyclists do have motor vehicles and pay gas tax when they put fuel in those motor vehicles.

Interestingly Steve, I have never paid a penny for your local streets, so if I were to drive on them, your local bicyclists would have more of a "right" to them than I would.

Because the closing distance at speed with oncoming traffic or motorcycles is 2X. Side by side bikes in the on coming lane is a fiasco waiting to happen.

You statement was about zero oncoming traffic (per the video)... this is very rare in most places... and many many roads are not so idealistic nor straight.

Because they can. In Iowa a bicycle is considered a motor vehicle on a public street. I'm not telling you it's safe, I'm just saying they can. Consider it a farm tractor which does basically the same thing. Bicycle riders have rights too. This is one of them. They are also required to follow all traffic rules as well like stop signs and traffic lights. Just like a tractor.

kwg

Furthermore... I will ALWAYS be extremely rude to side by side bicyclists.

I consider it my duty... a kindness if you will... to keep y'all safe.

You are welcome.

I don't know if it falls short or the money is poorly managed the government.

CDOT is notorious for mismanagement of tax money, seems they are always getting a new fleet of vehicles or more upper management. Now they are mandated to go to zero emmision vehicles by the State. Plus the new "fee" the State added to fuel prices is solely to add infrastructure (charging stations) for EV vehicles.

Hell by 2022 we may all be riding bicycles.

The worst offenders that I've seen have been so-called "Century Rides" where some group sets out a 100 mile course and lot of bicycle riders show up. The bicycle riders typically ride across both lanes of 2-lane rural roads and make little effort to yield to motor vehicles. I complained to the Saunders County Sheriff several years ago and he stopped issuing permits after several other people also complained about the bicycle riders riding 8 to 10 abreast, effectively blocking traffic.

I wouldn't want to see a bicycle rider get injured or killed, but I can see how it could easily happen if they don't ride single file.

Paul,

I live on a country road that is on a hill that has a state park look out at the top. It is on the edge of wine country outside the Portland metro area. We get LOTS of bicyclists. LOTS. LOOOOOOOTS.

So I understand the logic that cyclists try use to justify the whole abreast issue. Frankly, it's just sophistry.

Most of them that I encounter are courteous and are single file. I try to be courteous as well.

However there is a significant minority of them that are arrogant pricks. You know that as well. I've been flipped off more than once because I come upon them a 55+ while they are climbing the hill at 5mph scattered all over the lane, chumming it up with their fellow bikers, and passed them in the on-coming lane. I'd love to confront them, but usually I'm carrying and I don't want to get into a situation. Or they are zooming down the road at 40+ in blind curves and almost hit me pulling out of my drive. And be sure that I'm REAL cautious pulling out of the drive.

Cyclists NEED to understand physics. The also they need to call out their own when they are doing stupid and arrogant stuff. Not just blame the automobile driver.

And the laws need to be changed to reflect physics.

Cyclists should also have to pay a road-mile tax to support the roads. Their logic that, "We already pay taxes" is stupid and is reflected in the abreast in the lane logic as well. Sorry, got me riled.

BTW why is it that a slow moving farm vehicle is required to display on of the triangle devices while road driving, but not bikes?

The point was that the cyclists do pay for the roads.

You did if you bought fuel.

So that’s a “no”.

They use public roadways payed for with Federal excise tax dollars, vehicle licenses and registration fees and fuel tax.

Another reason that cyclists ride two abreast is to make themselves more visible. Given that nearly every motorist that mows down a cyclist from behind says "I didn't see them," riding side by side gives the idiot motorist a more to see. That and the fact that on narrow roads vehicles passing cyclists on narrow roads will spend less time in the oncoming lane if cyclists are riding abreast is NOT sophistry. It's a simple reality.


Why would you come up on them at 55MPH? How do you know they flipped you off?

Humm, arguing over who owns the road...reminds me of sumtin.

Bull Schit,

The taxes that they pay that go into the general fund, pay for the construction and maintenance of federal and state roadways. How is that difficult to comprehend? The money they pay in property taxes and sales taxes funds county an municipality roadways. How in the piss that equals "they don't pay taxes" is a mystery.

Which part is bullschidt?

Tucson is indeed a bike friendly town with lots of bikes on the roads as well as non motorized bike trails, but if you watch the local news it's rare for a week to go by without at least one bicyclist fatality.

I'd be very surprised if Tuscon averaged one a month.

Litterbugs should be gravely punished .... especially the ones that do it intentionally.

Azzhole cyclist around here needs more thrown at them than trash, more like bricks

That camera runs full time because the f a g using it knows his actions elicit negative responses from motorists.

Somebody tossed a crumpled empty bag and empty Dasani bottle his way for some humor.

Zippity-fugkin-do-dah.

Yep.

Cyclists can come up with all kind of rules, rights , etc for their actions on the highways.

However, cyclists are by far ,too stupid to stay out of harms way.

Riding out of single file on any road is looking for a run on with vehicle traffic.

Instead of throwing garbage .....a large industrial broom should be used for keeping cyclists in line.

What is the longest you have ever been held up by a cyclist? How often are you held up by cyclists?

If you don't mind humoring me, describe in as much detail as you can how the motorist in this case would have benefited if the cyclists were in single file? This should be good. FWIW, I bat 1000 with this question eliciting a dumbazz response.

Looks like you're right, but...
https://www.kold.com/story/37063929/cyclists-react-as-tucson-rated-2nd-deadliest-city-in-us/

had one run a stop sign into the side of my truck, tried to convince the cop I was at fault, told the cop he didn't run a stop sign. it was fun seeing him go over the top of my box to bad I dint have a cap on.

Four in the year 2016 and one in 2017. Did I read that correctly?

LIKE .

Along Hwy.79 Panama City Beach, Fl. there's a bike road 30-40' off to the side of the northbound lane. It's at least 10-12' wide, has enlarged rest stop spots with seats and shade, yet there they are riding on Hwy. 79 . The bike road is in far better shape than the highway road.
As you say there's a significant minority [plenty] of arrogant punks who enjoy being arrogant punks.

I ride a bike a lot for exercise, ride it around the outer perimeter of a retail strip-mall thingy place and on the road behind the place. If a car is coming I get on the sidewalk, maybe I'll get a 6.5 Creedmire and join a roadwarrior bike riding group, live to ride- ride to live bichez.

Say what you want about bikers on roads. I don't do it and I've had a few choice words for those that have slowed up traffic but it's what you call a first world problem if you're delayed a minute here and there.

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

I am not sure what your point is. There are millions of motor vehicle collisions in the USA each year in which one operator failed to yield right of way. There's lots to celebrate there right?

We’re those litterers cited after recording plates and trash throwers?

50 zillion crossing the border, runaway inflation and gasoline prices, and this is our concern.

I have seen those bike paths and am envious. I would never ride on the main road with that kind of infrastructure available. With that said, as a motorist I doubt seriously that having to negotiate bicyclists on the highway would inconvenience me more than other motorists would on the same trip, and would certainly pose less of a risk than other motorists.

Chumming the waters again, eh Paul?

Lol

🦫

Exactly. So much for conservatives espousing freedom.

Hell, I have a way bigger beef with the giant, ¼-½ mile long groups of attitude-toting Harley riders who clog up the roads doing 53 miles. Try passing those azzholes and they'll try ripping you out of your vehicle and beating your ass for disrespecting them.

It boils down real simple: Ignorant rednecks too fat and lazy to ride a bike hate those that do. But also, arrogant bike riders who want to hog the whole road do not help their cause, and arrogance is just another form of stupidity. So therefore they clash.

i remember that movie .was about 14 when it came out in 1977 .scared the crap out of me when i saw a big black car after that

In Austin, cyclists shoot other cyclists!

https://www.fox7austin.com/sports/moriah-wilson-murder-kaitlin-armstrong-east-austin-texas

Looks more like a targeted hit though.

I don't know. The footage has been turned over to LE. I suspect they'll get hit with littering charges and for Interestingly and ironically, they will likely suffer greater legal harm from this than they would have if they had run over the cyclists.

bring a 6.5 Creedmoor to a truck fight, tell be about the outcome

And the bicyclists are perfectly fine.

I'm sure it's a top priority.

LOL

I think it was racist

I figure it's therapeutic for those who have lycraphobia. I realize it's a stretch, but maybe, just maybe, someone will learn a little about how roads are funded, what the laws are, why cyclists might do what they do etc.

But there's dipschidts like AggrievedSteve90210, when you spell out exactly how cyclist do pay for roads, you get a "nuh uh." Some people are irremediably dumb.

Now we are getting somewhere. Perhaps a new 'protected class' should be assigned?

I live in a place with a billion bicyclists. Most of the riders you encounter out of town know what they are doing, most of the in town riders are college students and they far more likely to be an idiot and not follow any of the laws, rules and common courtesies. Either way, most people around here are used to dealing with cyclists and it's not a big deal to give them their share of the road.

lololol. Cops probably told them to run over the cyclists next time and there won't be nearly the hassle.

Most people don’t like road bikers because they have encountered them before.

You have peeked my curiosity. Just how do you think bicyles help fund highways!

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!

This is a freedom loving group until a bicyclists is involved. Then they scream for more taxes, more government and less freedom. I have always found that amusing.

we have a bike lane on the back road that goes past my sub-division to the stop light at the 4 lane main road .Bicyclist instead of riding in the bike lane willl ride right on the white line forcing cars to be closer to them, because they cant get over when car comes from opposite direction,.cyclist get mad and yell things ,idiots ,when they get to the red light ,if nobody coming cyclist will ride thru the red light while we sit there ,but cyclist are supposed to fallow the same laws we do .So their fussing at car drivers ,about slights ,but they purposly bring a lot of it on their selves

Read the thread. I have explained twice.

No schidt...
MI laws dictate that they must be as far right on the road as possible, can ride only two abreast. Vehicles have to give them a 3' clearance when overtaking riders.

I called out the fūcktard on fakebook who organizes these rides and mentioned they should try to follow state laws regarding riding bikes on roads, he claimed that he briefs all riders before they start a ride. Ya, okay. You can see how well THAT works...
And they're supposed to obey all traffic signs INCLUDING STOP SIGNS. 🤣

The typical rager is a middle aged, out of shape, poorly educated, white male.

Now do typical cyclist.

Those numbers are from 2017 and I didn't see where they counted the total number of incidents, only fatalities. I contend it is a bad idea because the bicyclist is at a considerable disadvantage and this is mentioned in the article. The mom who takes her kid with her on her bike admits she tries to choose routes with less traffic and slower moving traffic. This is responsible behavior on her part. Tucson is considered the most dangerous city for bicyclists per the article.
I don't know all the ways roads are funded, but fuel tax is the major source of funding. Electric vehicles and bicyclists don't buy fuel so they don't contribute in that manner. I don't have the answer but I think bicyclists need to realize they are at a distinct disadvantage and therefore need to take responsibility for their own safety. Expecting everyone else to watch out for them and obey the law is short sighted and can have serious consequences.

Paul,
To answer your question , the cyclists should ride single file to use as little road as possible for the cyclists safety, as well as keeping a motorist from having to deal with an accident , caused by cyclists with an attitude.

As far as batting 1000, you will have a dumbazz response.

I would bat you over with my broom. Got it???????

Paul, because the speed limit and normal traffic speed is 55. I also have a rear view mirror.

See my previous statements, "So I understand the logic that cyclists try use to justify the whole abreast issue. Frankly, it's just sophistry." and "They also they need to call out their own when they are doing stupid and arrogant stuff."

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

I’m more irritated by Marching Band fágs than cyclists.


Neither of which is a big deal out char in the country.

Yeah, a marching band flag might be tho only thing gayer than spandex on a man.

This space reserved for the hilarious “roll coal” footage.

Marching bands sound like America!

And yet you are unwilling to tax cyclists to pay for it.

Two cents ain’t wort a piece of bubblegum anymore , but here it is .
Seems silly to think that the law says the bike has the same ROW as vehicles .
You’ll sue the sob that hits you ?
Let me know how much you’re enjoying that money crippled up .
Got nothing against people bycycling , done it myself , but on country dirt roads were I weren’t likely to get between a rock and hard spot .
Espeacially areas like much of NOVA , a lot of fugged up , distracted , and [bleep] attitudes toward other people on the road .
Ain’t worth the risks to me , but like I said , two cents ain’t worth much .
Kenneth

Read the comments before seeing the video. Given the purse clutching I anticipated something…… more.

Call out the national guard. Peddle biker had a napkin and empty water bottle tossed at them. I hope they were able to get counseling and meds to help them through the PTSD they surely suffered.

PaulBarnard: After enduring 29 years of law enforcement duties which included countless "vehicles vs. bicycles" accidents (and tending to the resulting horrific injuries!) investigations I long ago came to the conclusion that bicycles have NO place what so ever on public highways and freeways!
PERIOD!
This is not "rage" it is common sense and based on concern for the safety of my fellow humans!
Having said that some bicycling on streets and county dirt roads should be tolerated where safety is good (wide shoulders, low speed limits etc) and I fully endorse the building of bicycle paved trails and exercise areas.
Speaking of exercising "I" invite to you come stay at my home and participate in one of the most beautiful bicycle charity events on earth!
I have enclosed a link to this annual event that starts and finishes in my hometown (Dillon, Montana) and is called "The R.A.T.P.O.D. Race" (Ride Around The Pioneers in One Day).
It is a 131 mile endurance race that starts here at an elevation of 5,100' and climbs up and over two mountain passes (elevations of 6,760' and 7,400'!) and travels around the Pioneer Range of the Rocky Mountains!
This race is so popular amongst "bicycle types" that they no longer advertise for it, as they always have more applicants than the public safety officers here in our county allow to be in the "race".
Be sure and scroll down and look at the beautiful vistas you will be bicycling by as you SUFFER along.
Let me know if you will be attending and I will be your "host" and I will be there at the finish line taking your picture as you barf and gasp for air.

Hold into the wind
VarmintGuy

From today's news, I shouldn't have specified fatalities.
https://www.kold.com/2022/05/20/pol...hit-and-run-crash-houghton-tanque-verde/

A video like this is a fail without ketchup.

It's invitations like these that make the Campfire what it is.

I honestly don't care if they're allowed to use the road. I hate them. I hate everything about them, that they impede traffic, the gay looking spandex, helmets and shoes, that they usually don't follow any traffic laws/signals and they're just a flat out nuisance. Even God hates bicyclists.

Next time the USMC band is in town be sure and let em know how you feel.

Kingston: I have hosted MANY CampFirers here at our home in the last 20+ years.
I have enjoyed hosting them all and hope to do more.
I hosted a Varmint Hunter just last week from Paul Barnards neck'o the woods (New Orleans!) and even though he is not a CampFirer he just LOVES his time spent here every year or so as it is so "different and beautiful" here in SW Montana (as compared to the flattish humid place he lives and works in).
You are welcome anytime as well.
Long live the CampFire.
Hold into the wind
VarmintGuy

Just like here in Oregon, where they just flash thru a stop sign and then are shocked when they get hit...

they are democRats and think they are saving the planet and being green, therefore nothing ( include common sense) means anything to them
because they think they are a privileged class...

all I know is if a 200 lb lefty on a 50 pound bike doing 10 mph, pulls right out in front of a 5000 pound pickup doing 10 mph, I'm pretty sure you don't have to be a physicist to figure out what the outcome of that is going to be....

I respect cyclists and yield the right of way to them.. occasionally I go out and ride a bike.... but they also need to put a little common sense into the mix... they pull out in front of a vehicle, its their fault, not the driver of the vehicle...spend the rest of their life in a wheel chair, doesn't really matter how big of an insurance settlement the court awards them....

I can't believe you got away with that one.

Why don't you lift off the gas as you approach them so that you don't run up on them with as much speed disparity. I have rear view mirrors too, but I don't normally look in them after I pass other vehicles. Unless maybe it's a good looking gal on a bicycle.

Tell me how those parallel paths are funded.

Here in Oregon they are funded through transportation funds (i.e., gas taxes).

Yep. Still batting 1000.

Don't be obtuse.

There is no typical cyclist. Within the different cycling disciplines, there are some commonalities. The bike messenger discipline is full of riders who typically give zero schidts about any law or anyone else.

Typical cyclist ‘ I am more nuanced and superior’ answer. Thank you.

Tell me about the time you were most inconvenienced by a bicyclist or bicyclists.

Most road users break the law on a regular basis.

https://bicyclecoalition.org/study-shows-cyclists-motorists-break-law-rate-anti-cyclist-angst/

Thanks for the offer, but I am not in any kind of condition to tackle that kind of ride.

I as wondering how long it would take.

No general fund money, property tax money, ad valorem money etc? Any time I have bothered with digging into the funding of bicycle infrastructure, I have found that it comes from multiple sources.

Edit to add. https://www.oregon.gov/lcd/Publications/WalkBikeFunding.pdf

Bikers could ride around these huge school parking lots, on
week-ends when nobody is there.

If I have to let off of the accelerator pedal, bump my steering wheel a quarter inch to the left and acknowledge some guy on a bicycle, it pisses me off. I dont like being inconvenienced and especially not by stupid people that are going a fifth of the posted speed limit.

I do applaud you for owning your emotional midgetry. I am going to guess white, middle aged, poorly educated, out of shape, white male.

A very fair assessment.

Generally... bike folks are fairly reasonable and receive in kind consideration from most.

Dickheads like these bike guys knew EXACTLY what they were doing. In the same way BLM knows EXACTLY what it is doing when it walks in the highway.

Paul can "soft shoe" this chit until the cows come home, but it will not change the facts...

Dickheads provoke chit deliberately...

Whine like bitches when they don't get what they want...

And George Floyd was stoned out of his mind... resisted arrest with great physicality... and died because of that decision accordingly.

So be it...

Ride your bike any way you see fit... wear pink silky yoga pants if ya want.

Your life... Your decisions!

You'd really hate it up here in Northern Michigan when all the tourists show up every summer and forget how to drive and where they're going.

But Spandex, and he saw a cyclist "blow through" a stop sign one time.

Nope, you're wrong on nearly all of those. I admit that I do lack empathy for anything other than children or animals and despise sharing my world with those that I deem unworthy of it. And that would be adults that I don't know. I don't know their dreams, aspirations or anything therefore they are nothing to me but an inconvenience, extra time in traffic, a longer wait in the line at the store, some yahoo turning left when I need to go straight.

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.

On track to become the second greatest attention whore thread of all time! (Apologies to safariman)

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.

Great post.

A paper bag and empty Dasani bottle.

LOL

“I’m posting THIS!!!!”

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

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???

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.

The bitch has hadda change out the "I" key on his keyboard 6 times since gettin on the 'fire.

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;

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?

Every bicyclist wants be a gangsta until someone throws a Styrofoam cup at him... then he wanna cry and call the PoPo...

How do you feel about little old ladies in crosswalks?

7 pages by my count already. This shows a passionate and emotional love/hate for the spandex peddlers.

I think a solution would be for both drivers and bicyclists to carry tasers to nuke each other when either shows a blatant disrespect for traffic laws.

🦫

This sure is an unlikely forum for finding someone who supports more tax and more government. Should we require pedestrians who walk on the road to be registered and plated too?

Pay up you little fuukking outlaw.

And there are no azzhole cyclists, and they don’t impede traffic flow which is against the law.

have a buddy that riggedd up a windsheid washer filled with coon urine , just give them a little scent to continue with there ride, priceless

They don't have these problems in Switzerland.

But Spandex, and he saw a cyclist "blow through" a stop sign one time.[/quote]

I see far more people on bikes blow thru a stop sign, than I ever see actually stop at one and look both ways... Like I was taught in school, whether you were walking, biking or driving....

around here I'd bet I see 50 cyclists blow thru stop signs, for every one single person who will actually stop at the stop sign before proceeding...

but then we are just 25 miles north of the California line.. and I'd bet most of our cyclists are CA transplants... and they sure a pompous bunch...



I haven't been licensed for decades, but I use to be a Paramedic... and was a highly trained corpsman in the military..
but If I saw some adult on a bike run right thru a stop sign and they got hit by a vehicle.. I doubt I'd have the motivation to even stop to help them..

I'd call 911, but that is about it... Stupid Should Hurt.. its the only thing that is going to teach these idiots a car or truck that weighs 50 times what they weigh isn't going to get hurt when they hit the cyclist...who didn't obey the traffic signs...

shooting right thru an intersection and not stopping, whether on 4 wheels or two wheels, is just plain personally stupid..

so they shouldn't be shocked when the outcome was different than they thought it would be....

do Stupid Things, Win Stupid Prizes...

I generally don't have an issue with bicyclists, though I do get grumpy when coming over a blind hill and they're right there in my lane. I often have to slam on my breaks because a car is coming in the oncoming lane and I can't get over until that oncoming car (or line of cars) is past. Even if they're not actually in my lane they're often too close for me to be comfortable passing within a foot of them at highway speeds. All it takes is for them to swerve slightly to miss a rock or piece of trash or whatever and I will hit them. I couldn't imagine having that on my conscious for the rest of my life, so it isn't just "their" problem. Two abreast or single file doesn't really matter to me, as there's "good" and bad things about both ways, from a motorists' perspective. I also don't like how they zip around in dedicated bike lanes in towns. It can be really tough to see them when getting into turn lanes.

If I come across them on an open roadway where I see them in plenty of time and no oncoming cars are coming, I don't care too much but it almost never seems to happen that way.

Isn't there a legal minimum speed one must go on federal and many state highways, or at least it could be considered reckless if going real slow? Tractors and such can be a pain here too but I believe by law they're required to have the orange slow moving vehicle triangle and maybe even have flaggers, depending on the location and local laws.

The Real Caption....

Well sure you can have my autograph young man! And I look forward to seeing you after you grow up and join the force also...
you be safe out there....and give my regards to your big tit big sister....

How many times more motor vehicles are out there.

ROFLMAO...

Skunk screen would be better... but coon piss is still Rock Start funny

bear spray works great, once you come around the cycleholes, squirt a good stream up n out the window and they roll into the mist

technically you never sprayed anyone, they themselves rolled into it on their own free will, so it's their own damn fault

EXCELLENT!

This is becoming a really great thread.

Thanks for starting it Paul!!!

Bikers have a right but they should not cover the whole lane from line to line. At least give a automobile a opportunity to pass and crap wouldn’t happen!

I have all the parts to hookup a cyclists sprayer but never got to it, it's summer out just might have to, wonder if liquid pig schit would go through it

I've ridden a bike for three years overseas to commute back and forth from work. A year in the middle east and two years in europe. I rode on the side of the road and got out of way of traffic (but to be honest, I left so early and late, there wasn't much traffic). I don't own spandex...and never had a problem.

Biker nerd gets on the forums and acts all superior to everyone else because their recreation is spent tying up traffic 'because they can.' They aren't usually going anywhere to do anything....just putting on their 'bike pride' spandex to clog the roads while everyone else it trying to get to Walmart and buy tobacco and gas before POTUS policies raise the prices again before Monday.

The walmartians driving in the cars wonder why don't you bike geeks just go to low travelled roads, or better yet some kind of cycling drome where you can hamster it up there and impress each other with your pride spandex?

The biker nerds respond with weird boolean logic and wonder why they aren't patted on the back and praised.

The average 24 hour camper are like GFY biker...

So, did I get this thread right?

you got it

Studies show that cyclists and motorist break the law at similar rates. If cyclists were really regularly blowing through stops without looking there's be more fatalities as a consequence. There are very few.

That is entirely too reasonable. Where do you get off...?

As a motorcyclist, the importance of not out-driving my line of sight was drilled into me. There could be a driveway with someone pulling out, a mail truck, a fallen tree, a fallen rock, free range cattle, a broken down vehicle, a tractor or any other thing in the lane when I top that blind hill or blind curve.

This right here!

So what do you do?
Stop and turn around?

Your IQ is right there with most of the other respondents.

What the piss are you talking about?

You

Or a shítload of inconsiderate entitled fùckknobs on bicycles.

Thank you

At all related to chuckleheads?

How cute is it that you and Sparky are on the same team now. Y'all should fugck.

No doubt a subset of chucklehead-ery.


It's a big family.

I've fugked him many times.

Cycloids can be militant occasionally when insisting on exercising their right. I was hauling a crusher between Hope and Salome AZ a few years back and came up behind a large group, plenty of room if they singled up along the fogline...but no, a few of them blocked the eastbound, 82,000 pounds up a 5% grade, no way I can pass, so cars were backing up behind me and 2 or more impatient ones tried to pass...close call, one car made it but didn't see the bikes in front of me, held the center line narrowly escaping a head on. The car following him deliberately went off the highway on the westbound shoulder. They had the wreck cleaned up later when I went by empty, but I don't know if anyone was injured. If they would just work a little and compromise with other drivers, that stuff wouldn't happen.

Does he bleach?

Paul,
What you state above about the distribution of taxes collected is not true in Arizona and to my knowledge in most States.

In AZ, not a single penny of property taxes pay for roads.

General sales tax does not pay much for roads either. Almost nothing to roads. If I recall correctly, sales tax pay less than 1% of these taxes revenue collected on roads. I may be mistaken on amount but it’s really really small.

Highway Users Revenue Fund or HURF for short pay for roads. These taxes are what folks call gas tax. And diesel fuel tax. The taxes are distributed for construction and maintenance of roads.

So, those bicyclists using the roads are paying almost nothing for the use of the road. Sure, they pay for sales tax when they buy that bike, but as mentioned, almost none of it goes back to the roads. True, they pay gas tax for when they buy gas for their car, but they get that bike path next to the road for free. So some foreigner visiting Arizona and buying gasoline pays more for that bike path and getting no benefit for said bike path than does the resident who buys gas and is also a bicyclist. The resident buys gas but gets to use the path. Foreigner buys gas but doesn’t use the path.

And in my experience in dealing with bicyclist organizations, they are some of the most narcissistic group of people I have every had to deal with. BTW, I dealt a lot with them in my career. I am also very familiar with various tax funding and how they relate to road construction and maintenance. I have found bicycle organization are very assertive in what they want yet not wanting to pay for what they get - for essentially free.

I don’t particularly like those kind of people.

I don't get why cyclists won't work with motorists when they can. It's often very easy to work traffic around. If you had come up behind me, I'd would have got the hell out of the way as soon as I reasonably could. That's one of the beauties of a bike, it's so damn easy to make a small obstacle of yourself.

https://taxfoundation.org/states-road-funding-2019/

Thanks for making my point, Paul.

As mentioned in the website you attached, gas and diesel fuel taxes pay for road construction and maintenance. No mention in the article in how that bicyclist pays for that bike path on the shoulder of the road. Because those bicyclist aren’t taxed or pay any user fees for that path. The people buying gas and diesel are paying for it.

There is a % of bike riders that are attention seeking virtue signaling narcissists. I see a similarity to there being a % of Black people that are feral sociopaths. In both cases I feel kind of bad for the decent and honorable members of either group.

UPDATE:

Nothing happened in the video.

the bicyclists flag

According to the link, in AZ those taxes and fees add up to a grand total of 47.3 percent of the funding. Where does the rest of the funding come from?

More reading for the "bicyclists don't pay for roads" crowd.

https://uspirg.org/sites/pirg/files/reports/Who%20Pays%20for%20Roads%20vUS.pdf

That video was disgusting.

They should have thrown something biodegradable like apples or old bananas or dog [bleep].

I can't stans people who litter.

The Federal government.

Per gallon, HURF collects 36 cents per gallon of fuel. Eighteen cents goes to the Federal government, specifically FHWA. They then send it back to the States for funding highway and freeway construction essentially based on a priority of needs ranking system. The other 18 cents per gallon goes to the State the tax was collected in. They distribute it from there. Most of it again for highway construction or improvements. Sadly, a relatively small portion goes to maintenance as it is cooler to build new then maintain what you already got. Much like in our personal lives - it’s a lot more fun and sexy to buy a new car than maintain the car you got.

So when they build or maintain those bike paths attached to the road, HURF pays for it.

This video showed a wide sidewalk or bike path. Why weren't they riding on that instead of the highway?

In reading that website, it says people who generally pay taxes pay for bike paths. It doesn’t say general taxes or sales pay for the path along a road.

I’m telling you, HURF pays for that path.

And bicycles don’t buy gasoline or diesel fuel last time I checked. At least, I haven’t seen a fuel tank on 10 speed or mountain bikes.

Those are called motorcycles. And they go a lot faster than a bicyclist.

That’s a good camera. Pretty good resolution on those screen grabs!
lol

They weren't riding on a highway. They were riding a low traffic density 35 MPH road approaching an overpass. The sideWALK ended just a few hundred feet from where they were.

More and more cyclists are using them. I think it's probably best that everyone carries on as if their every action was being recorded.

So, here I am stuck between deciding whether to believe the volumes that I have read that clearly lay out how bicyclists pay for roads and highways or believing a guy on the internet who says "nuh-uh." Damn man, this is tough. lololol

Legally, in most places, they can’t ride a bike on a sidewalk. Legally.

And they often don’t like to ride in that path next to the road because traffic blows gravel and debris onto that path and they find it annoying and uncomfortable with their road bike tires at 100 PSI.

So they often ride at he white edge line as the speed of the traffic kinda keeps it cleaner tha the path itself.

So they call the local road maintenance department and yell at them to sweep their path. You know, the path they don’t pay for.

And that is priority #1,021 on their list of things to do for that road maintenance department.

"However, funding those repairs and improvements comes from more than just collecting gas taxes paid by those driving a vehicle. These days, general taxes paid by all taxpayers such as income and sales taxes are just as instrumental as gas taxes to fund local roads and state highway infrastructures."

or "nuh uh"

Which should I choose?

You do what you wanna do Paul. I am just trying to educate you. I have have a 35 year career in transportation planning, construction, and maintenance by the way. If you wanna believe what you dig all over the internet to support your point, you go right ahead.

I am telling you from first hand experience.

General taxes paid such as income and sales taxes don’t really fund bike paths. If you think they do to any real consequence, I have some beach front property out here in AZ I would like to sell you. I will put it on the internet because then it would be believable to you.

But you believe what you wanna believe because I am not gonna convince you otherwise.

You can lead a horse to water, but if he ain’t gonna drink, he ain’t gonna drink.

Yeah!!!

A rotten 5 lb Charentais Amish Cantaloupe at 45 mph would take a poof clean off the seat

💀💀💀

Get off the road , period !

Paul, you made this out through your posts as if it were some egregious assault. You weren't alone, but you posted the thread lol.

Holy fûck. Nothingburger. Defined.

There should be a specific hate crime law against it for sure.

They're covered under the preferential treatment of gays laws already. But I can see another one made just for them too. Good point.

The bicyclists don't bother me as much as the Amish buggies. Little 12 year old Nebuchadnezzar going down a narrow country road in a buggy, whipping the shít out of some poor pony, pops around the curve on you and you have to take the ditch to keep from flattening his silly ass.

I don't like the littering, but bicyclists arrogance is worse than harley riders. The bike riders were breaking the law, and being chunts, because that's what they do.

Now now...you mustn't out drive your ability to see.

Pick my post that you think most painted it as an egregious assault. I know you won't, but I thought I'd at least give you a chance. lolol

Which law were they breaking?

Exactly. Even our intellectually challenged can catch on after a while. Nice work Jim!

Yep...never know when you might encounter a bunch of àssholes all in a group.

Freaking hilarious, love it!!!

That chick looks like a millennial. Isn’t that really the ultimate issue here?
😆

Bicyclists and motorcyclists love a extended window washer session when you are in front of them.
Easy way to get motorcyclists or dipschits tail gateing you to back off.
Even better when they spent hours detailing their ride for their cruise.

Im doing the speed limit at say 50 mph and you wanna be riding my azz within 1 car lenght trying to get me to go faster.

Windsheild washing fluid time👍👍👍

Sweetchuck is gonna beat yo ass one day at the red light 🤣🤣🤣🤣

She should have just leaned out the window with a shovel, I don't like littering.

They only show those commercials at dinner time, when they know Gertrude is watching Pat Sajak. Gertie sees that one-eyed dog shivering, puts down her plate of chicken n dumplins and gives em a call.

They need to put more into the camera case instead of the lens, better the chance of survival when they scrape them up off the road.

Zerofucksgiven

Getting tired of the starving old jewish women in ukraine commercials also.

Buncha fugging con artist making bank off of old people they dress down in goodwill bum clothes and make a sympathy commercial out of.

Almost as bad as the central Americas hairlip kids commercials.

I hear you renegade. Just don't fùck with the St. Judes kids.

Me thinks there is a west coast mirror out there somewhere with Paul's name on it.

Pshaw. Everbody knows you hadta blow up your TV.

Tho away your paper.

He's not wrong, I ride quite a bit. I don't wear all the fancy lycra or clipless shoes and most of my bikes are 30+ years old. Probably 50% or more of the what I call roadies won't even acknowledge me when we pass each other. Apparently I'm in the wrong uniform or something.

Mountain bikers seem to be more laid back and considerably less elitist. Triathletes on their fancy aero bikes seem pretty cool too. I just want to get out and get some exercise and since I always liked endurance stuff cycling fits the bill.

I've wondered why some politician hasn't come up with a bicycle version of Pittman-Robertson to be honest. Seems like it would make sense to target the cycling community in order to help pay for cycling infrastructure. Those money grubbing pricks should be all over it.

The Pittman Robertson analogy is a good idea but let's dea afine what the "fair share" for bikers would be.

First, quantify the number of bikes on the road vs vehicles. Then talk to someone who designs roads for a living and ask how much a road for bikes only would cost if there were no vehicles driving on it.

Especially heavy trucks.they drive the design specs and the cost.

Yeah I never put any thought into it other than "I wonder why those money grubbing pricks haven't done this yet?"

It just seemed like something a politician would be all over.

Your observations parallel mine. When I am out and about riding on the path, I greet everyone. I am most likely to be ignored by an older guy in his "team jersey" riding a high dollar road bike. They always seem like they are miserable.

All that video looks a bit too good to not be staged. Not buying it. Reminds me of all the unreality shows where every episode they manage to have a major crisis caught on film.

The truth is that we do pay for roads and at a level that is commensurate with the amount of wear we are responsible for.

Gas and use taxes do not cover the cost of building and maintaining highways. I posted a link earlier that shows how much of each state's use fees/fuel taxes cover. In total it's about 50%. Much of the other 50% comes from the general fund that my income taxes go to. County and local roads are funded heavily through property taxes and ad valorem taxes.

It's real. I have had an online discussion with the rider. He turned the video over to cops and hasn't followed up.

That is just as hilarious now as it was the other 46 times dimwits have posted it.




This coal roller thought it was cool until it was discovered who he was and it started affecting his business. Then he started crying.

Despite that, [the driver] believes that he is the victim in all of this, saying he “draws the line” at his actions affecting his business.

lololololol

Some things merit repeating

Paula,

You kinda remind me of the chicks that casually mention who they’re not fugking.

Just in case anybody was wondering.

LOL

You started the thread…..

Sheesh! Hold into breaking wind!

Columbia County: How do we pay for roads

"The majority of the county’s road funds (about 72 percent) come from the state gas tax and vehicle registration fees. The state gas tax comes from a statewide pool which is divided between the state, county, and city agencies, as well as metropolitan planning organizations such as Metro. Counties receive funds based on the number of registered vehicles within the county as designated by maintenance mileage."


https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/lpro/Publications/RoadsAndHighways.pdf



"Oregon pays for the construction, maintenance, and operation of the state highway system primarily through user fees. Principal sources of revenue are
federal funds, state fuel taxes, state weight-mile taxes on trucks, and state vehicle registration and title fees. The taxes and fees collected by the state are shared with Oregon cities and counties and are constitutionally dedicated to use on highways. The state does not use General Funds on highways."



https://oregoncounties.org/roads/county-road-program/road-resources/transportation-funding/


"Oregon’s counties are responsible for the largest share of Oregon’s road system (41 percent), with over 32,000 miles of road and over 3,400 bridges. AOC advocates for resources to support preservation, modernization, and maintenance of the county road system, and serves as a partner to the state.

Counties receive funding primarily from the State Highway Fund, from gas tax, fees, and other sources. The State Highway Fund provides funding for the state, counties, and cities at a rate of 50 percent, 30 percent, 20 percent, respectively.

In addition, many grant and other funding options are available – such as the most recent investment from the federal government through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). Below are some of the major funding sources for counties applicable resources."

If anything a bicycle version of Pittman-Robertson could be used to help build MUPs or rail trails. Out where I live I wouldn't see any benefit.

And I just posted how my state funds it's roads, including county and city. No where NEAR 50% is from the general fund.

And how much of the road funds are diverted off for bike paths? In the metro area it's 12% of the road budget. How much do bicyclist's fees and taxes pay for that? Zero.

lolololol

But can they do the speed limit? And why do they not follow the signage? And since they do wear helmets why is throwing [bleep] at them a bad idea?

Every super intelligent human blocks traffic while going 50mph slower than every other vehicle.
Right?

Can we get a bicycle forum?
That way Paul and his spandex commandos can go complain about the lack of cyclist respect out on the road without annoying all us adults.

Which made up sponsor do you have plastered all over your crop top and ass huggers?
Vagisil or Tampax?

nice to bounce a brick off there helmet to test it

It appears to me that theirs a strong appetite for bicycle discussions right here.

Once took a powdered donut to the chest from a rig in the opposing lane when I was doing about 65 mph on a motorcycle. By the time I got stopped and figured out what had happened it was a bit late to give chase.

🦫

Get your little league helmut bruh

Riding a bicycle out on a god*damn road meant for cars and trucks is beyond self righteous not to mention stupid as fuuck.






Unless you get your ffaggity ass out of the way you deserve to be attacked by white trash.


Title of the event?


When Idiots Collide

Well, that leaves 30% which is a far cry from the "zero" figure you used.

lololol

These are the times when a like button would be nice.

It must be tough dealing with all of the bicyclists up there in Roped Goat Montana. lololol

If ya move ta TN, Nut up and drive your truck everywhere. Bike might be cool in the HOA territory however.

You are pretty much a bitch.

Right outside of the subdivision is Amish territory. I have already planned on drenching them with my water bottle when they hold me up with their stupid little horse and buggies.

You should be able to outnut them boys

Knowing how to bunnyhop would of saved that guy a trip to the hospital. That dude behind him sure had some good reflexes.

This is actually pretty entertaining. A friend and I had left a fish cookout and he had two honey filled deep fried biscuits he brought to carry home. We was driving on a road that was 35 mph and saw a motorcycle headed our way, he said watch this [bleep]! He threw one of the biscuits hit the guy on the bike. The guy turned around hauled ass and caught up with us and asked what the hell we thought we doing throwing something at him. My buddy spoke real quickly and said he saw the guy in front of us throw something out the window. The motorcyclist believed him and got back on his bike and off he went chasing another vehicle down.

That's what they get for riding on the shoulder.

That's the purpose.

So yes I guess I’m white trash since I was part of the fun!

Attention whoring plain and simple.

I have always yet been able to stop before hitting the bicyclists, so I haven’t out-driven my line of sight yet. That doesn’t mean I have to like slowing down to accommodate for them at times. Same with cattle, wildlife, poorly placed driveways and whatever else.

Besides cattle and wildlife, I will give all those other hidden obstacles the same disdain, especially if they don’t make an effort to warn traffic such as flags, warning signs, etc. People breaking down and not doing what they can to get off the roadway are just as guilty as bicyclists at causing roadway hazards and I don’t approve of them either. I know several people who rerouted their driveway or straight up moved due to them being in dangerous positions.

The main difference between those folks and bicyclists are that bicyclists go out to do their thing knowing they’re causing roadway hassles. Most ranchers/farmers I know who need to drive a tractor somewhere along a main road do so for the shortest time possible, then use back roads where they can. Many (not all though) also do it when traffic is minimal and use the slow moving warnings signs, use flaggers and pilot cars, at least on the main highways. Some of the smaller highways they don’t and I cuss them too.

His HOA friends are already bitching about how his one window lean-to with a real door is going to wreck home owner prices in the neighborhood. Next comes seeing him in Spandex nut separaters to end the game.

Just "pretty much"?

The one take away from this whole thread... is that I now realize that I have been far too laissez faire and accommodating to bicyclists... and Paul...

Like Communists... they demand more, more, more at every bend in the road.

Thanks Paul... I will track the white line closer from here on out.

I have no problem killing a Communist.

Farmers and ranchers are working, usually on a road that was gravel or dirt for over a hundred years. No issues with them.

Bicyclists are parasitic phoucs that can't decide if they're recreation or transportation. On it's face its playing badminton in the road or peddling to get to work. Riding to work I have no issue with, that covers about 1 percent of bicyclists. A cluster of 20 or more phoucs ain't going to work at 6:30 in the evening.

Let's face it, they're playing in the highway like they own it without spending one red cent for the basketball court.

I want a gun range on some paved real estate that I can blame, bitch and whine about cars and truck owners that paved and maintained it not making it a safe range; about the same logic

Love the thread!

Great for enabling complete whackjob fucqkfaces to out themselves.

Do you mentally retarded dumbfucqks also get worked-up when you’re “inconvenienced” by a slow senior driver on the road?

Fucqkin’ just throw some trash at them or hit them with a 2X4 when you drive by…

I wonder why the “tough guys” in their vehicles here don’t just drive up a bit, park and get out?


People on bikes commonly don’t stop at stop signs in residential areas. I wouldn’t either if I was riding a bike. And the guys here bitching about it wouldn’t either.

I can fab the bumper... any of you guys good with audio and a PA systems?

I like the horn... nice deep base to it...

I said that bicycle taxes and fees paid for zero of the bike paths.

Again don't be obtuse.

Bull [bleep]

lololol

I have posted half a dozen links demonstrating that I am right, and you come in with a "nuh-uh." Brilliant!

This entire thread inspires me to abuse roadway bicycle riders.

What’s that got to do with a wheel tax paying for Bike lanes on public roads?

Outstanding!

Absophuginlutely.

Do you like flinging [bleep] into a fan until you realize that the fan is turned in the wrong direction?

What?? An article from a bicycle magazine based in Portland Oregon doesn't instill confidence?!

They don't stop at ANY stop signs that I've seen, unless its a ten year old kid...

Equating an 80 year old driver and their limits and someone who should know better pretty much sums up the modern day bicyclist and their ways of rationalizing why someone shouldn't run their ass over without a thought....

Retards riding bicycles on a road.

Pit bull rescue nanny dogs.




Do we all agree equally bad ideas?

Never even considered it before Paul showed us why and the meaning involved.

Now it seems it could bring joy and satisfaction in ways I've never considered, thanks Paul.

Paul goes out for a ride, chafes his taint, and comes back here to stir schit up.

😂

lololol. I would say "anything for you Sparky" but I don't want Flave to get jealous.

Pure bitch......lol

Double lol

What a piece of compost you should be. I have a 16 mile blacktop road to get into town they is called the old Burlington road that is covered with cyclists all summer. Most respect vehicle traffic but some like you want to pull some crap

Around here tax dollars donations grants pay for lots of bicycle trails and such. Haul your f****** bicycle to one of them trails and stay the [bleep] f*** off the road scrawny ass f****** [bleep] losers

Where's the video of asswholes throwing trash at farmer or an 80 year old driver?

There isn't one, for reasons obvious to anyone who doesn't ride a bike on the fugging highway....but I'm sure the asswholes arrived to their behavior without any reason.

Your efforts and time here have the effects much like what a good White Supremacist website does for those like Dylann Roof, and Payton Gendron.

What Pauli looks like without his bicycle "hard hat" on

Paul single handily legitimizes the nessasary hate involved.

I can see a 4 way intersection from my kitchen window and being on a popular cycling route I see a lot of riders. I'd guess maybe 1 in 10 to 1 in 15 actually stop at the intersection. The other day I saw 4 riders make the turn South and stop in the lane. Friggin retards there is a nice big gravel wideout on the NE side of the intersection they could of pulled into.

Personally I always stop there when I'm riding. I can be kind of compulsive about following rules though. That intersection and one other intersection on a gravel road I ride a lot are the only two stop signs I typically see though and yep I stop for that one too. Most of you guys would probably be cussing me if I was driving since I don't speed by more than a couple of MPH.

This thread is great.

The Cajun didn't need this thread to show how dumb he is but it has certainly helped.

Please use a small "c" when Paul is involved.

See to many memorial s of dumb ass cyclists along the road. Take responsibility for riding safe rather than what we think we can get away with

What is truly more than a little amazing is that people on bicycles are not routinely dusted with 6 shot. Especially the ones abusing road etiquette. I still am mystified by their refusing to respect stop signs.

Paul is a dumb xxxx

I don't actually have a blanket dislike for people riding around and trying to stay out of the way on their bikes. Refusal to follow road signage, riding along shooting the [bleep] and blocking the road at 2mph does chap my ass. Some of the outfits are soooo gay looking on men but some of the women 2mph isn't that bad especially if they are pumping up and down.

I've seen a few of exceptional looking women riders. Unfortunately they've always been headed the other direction. One of these days I'll leave the house for a ride at the right time though. Frigging lycra can hide a lot of cottage cheese though. Guy has to be careful.

We move machinery down the road all the time.

Early morning.




Get out the way you homo dick lickers!

But with a male in Spandex like Pauli doing it, it is beyond disgusting.

Are you sure that wasn't a guy with shaved legs?

Paula Ab Fool...lol

Tell you what, when I was driving a tractor trailer in Arkansas last week, on a hilly, curvy, two lane highway with a 55 mph speed limit, and I came around a curve on that narrow road that should have been and probably once was, a goat path, to find some idiot in spandex on a bike, all I could think was why, in a state full of trails and parks, does this mental defective need to be endangering himself and everyone who comes upon him by using an already dangerous road for his hobby?

We spend hundreds of thousands of tax dollars making old railroad beds and other areas into trails for biking and similar hobbies, and then these idiots still see the need to use the roads as a venue for their HOBBY. Meanwhile, a guy making a living, with a full route to do and a federally mandated 14 hours to get it done and get back home, sits doing 5 to 15 mph in a 55 zone so they can do their HOBBY. That is the definition of an entitled aszhole. May every last one of them that operates thus be flattened by a driver who deserves the ensuing drama. Because no decent person should have to suffer for inadvertently wiping out a moron who chose to take his HOBBY places it should not be. I don’t hunt from the road, don’t fish off a bridge, or hike down the interstate. Common sense and all that. Of course, expecting commons sense from a grown man riding around in public looking like that is probably a bit optimistic.

Makes it fun running behind a bunch of cyclists across the road taking theIr right of way

As a former UPS driver who had a very rural route......I absolutely feel this.

Just plain vanilla Pauli the Pussy works too.

Our rural roads in most of N.C. have no room for cyclists. Just the way it is. Folks from the Midwest come down here and can’t believe how rough and narrow our roads are. It sure doesn’t stop the urbanite cyclists from riding out here. They are universally disliked.

Damn you ought to post more often. Exactly how I feel. Why do they do it. The roads around my place have a pretty good stream of water hauling trucks. Those guys must truly cuss the gay bike musketeers. I will say there are a few of them that are fast and make an effort to keep traffic flowing freely. But they are not all biathlon capable.

Yes being in the agricultural and excavation business I know the pain. These stupid son of a b****** are just suicidal and too ignorant to realize it

Hey Paulette, you feelin' dumb yet? 😁

In the video from the OP, not sure if anyone noticed, if the bottle was full it would of bucked the wind alot better at that speed...just saying for next time.

Wow! I couldn't agree more! Exactly how I feel.... In PA we pay a registration for our vehicles every year, which allows us to use the roads.... if these spandex wearing idiots want to use the road they should have to pay too! Fugg em.

Triggered?

I didn't start the thread....

You have any videos of "white trash throwing trash at farmers, slow moving vehicles and geriatric drivers"?

Didn't think so....even white trash knows the difference between reality, people working and people just being dumbasses and not having any real excuse other than being dumbasses.

Not sure why they call it common sense when it is not common at all and politicians that make laws seem to possess less of it than anyone. In most places it is illegal to ride a bicycle on the sidewalk. Why? Because pedestrians, even running, travel slower than bicycles and are subject to being hit. In the same way bicycles travel slower than vehicles which are much heavier. As mentioned before, anything traveling slower than the speed of traffic is a hazard whether it is a tractor, an Amish buggy, an ATV, a cow or a horse. That creates a hazard. Now they want to limit semis to 65 mph when the speed limit is 75 mph. Sometimes you need to take responsibility for your own safety because the politicians creating these laws are only interested in who will donate to their re-election campaign.

I agree. 100%
Saw one get hit once. I don't wish that on anyone.
Poor truck driver never saw the biker. The biker popped like a watermelon. This is on a major 2 lane highway in our area. Maybe 18" of shoulder. Dang bicyclists stream down this highway like they own it. It's rolling hills so hard to see too far ahead. This road is the only way to access thousands of acres of ag land. They stare at you when you go by like you are the one with a choice to be there.

Paul,
I know you are tired of hearing it, and I am tired of saying it. Gas taxes pay for roads. General fund sources do not pay for roads. County and local roads are not paid from property taxes.

They don't call them Bike Nazis for nothing.

No, bicycles are not just like farm tractors. Farmers are courteous and responsible, they ride the shoulder if there is one. Tractors are big, tall, contrasting colors to the road, make noise, have lights and a large reflector. Bicyclists are tiny, wear spandex that blends into the road, hunch over so they’re even smaller, have one reflector smaller than a fist. They have no business being on secondary highways where farmers have to go for livelihood and to feed us.

ldh gonna need a volunteer to do a welfare check on him in the morning.

Preferably don’t ride a bike to his house either.


🦫

Someone who drove for a living doesn't know not to outdrive his line of sight. What is this country coming to?

You need to turn in your CDL if you don't know that you are supposed to travel at a speed that gives you time to react to whatever may be around that blind bend or blind hill. It could have been a stalled car with kids in it. Instead of bitching, you should be thankful the cyclist was moving and saved you from being responsible for a crash.

Never said we hit one. Go back and read. That ain't "out driving your line of sight"

Then what are you bitching about?

You really are quite rude Paul.

Do NOT place supposition on another man.

YOUR relentless obsession that we must yield... has grown my disdain for bicyclists... that is beginning to match the concept I hold for Antifa and BLM.

With each new utterance... I move 1" closer to the white line.

Congratulations!

the Internet is the safe-est place to throw trash and hate folks… so it makes sense to post the video and drive more contempt and hatered..

Really.

You actually have No Clue do you.

There 80 sharp curves on the road to my house.



Most of them are limited sight to totally blind.
The speed limit is 45 mph, most drive 55+ mph.



Car and Driver Magazine test drives cars on this road.

Florida may be short on good driving roads, but we found one in Shelby's supercharged 610-hp pony car.

It'd take about 2 hours to make this 15 minute drive if one were to creep around every corner and peek to see if a Bicycle was blocking the roadway.

Bicycle riders die every year on this road..

Yet we offer miles and miles of bicycle trails throughout the county.

Why are they so slow to learn?

Maybe you should invite Paul down for a visit. Make sure he brings his bike and his helmet, can’t forget the helmet.

Goes to bed reading page 1 of the bicycle trash throwing thread.

*yawns* wakes up to page 18 of the bicycle trash throwing thread.

Man I must have slept for 6 months!!

Yeah, that's the problem; he doesn't see an issue having traffic slowed down and a dozen cars behind him. Everyone else is the problem, hence the thread.

You be like Rumpelstiltskin..

Biking trails need to have a bag of dicks caches along the route. They’ll gravitate towards them, like a mouth towards light.

Paul's done a drive by the last two years in a row on his way to Weeki Wachee kayaking with his family.

My environment is not family oriented.

We party long into the night,

https://m.youtube.com/shorts/nmagFj3Mc_Q?feature=share

Obscenities might be tossed about around our campfires and overall we're just not very politically correct types.

I don't think we'd work out to be his cup of Cajun Tea.

Hit the train horn once and the path is usually clear.

Bicyclists always like to argue and play their games until they are reminded of simple math. Bicycles<≠motor vehicles. When one gets drilled they all stay off the roads until they forget the equation and go out and find out again.

I don't care if I liked riding a bicycle so much that I rode around with a woody the whole time, It is not worth my life to ride on busy highways much less get an attitude about it.

I rode my bicycle with some Amish buggies when I rode to NY State, even drafted one cow a few miles; a steady 15mph into a headwind. Tell ya what, those Amish horses got all kinds of torque, they didn’t hardly miss a lick on a climb, I sure did.

I my dad caught me not getting of the road when a car was coming, I wouldn’t be able to sit down for a week!!

Just get the hell of the road!!!!

Paul will be the President of that HOA long before he ever builds a house there.

Becoming President was probably the main drive to buy the lot.

I stopped riding bicycles the day a got my driving license . crazy people .bikes are for kids

Bikes on the road....meh

Intentionally throwing trash out.....a whole nuther matter

I'm good there's just a certain types of people....
Thanks for asking

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

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.

Pauli.......savior of the world. One peddle at a time.

(but only in his mind)

In reality Pauli Spandex is an empty pinada who wonders why he's hanging from the neck and why are people laughing and hitting him with sticks. It's must be a tough life when you're a self-centered idiot.

That happened to me once. The wind resistance was phenomenal, slowed me down by at least 10 mph. Which was OK as long as I could keep it pointed straight ahead but it got sideways once and ran me off the road.

Just do like a few of the retards do around here...
Since MI passed the 3' rule they've started hanging a pool noodle that's 3' long sticking out the left side of their bike.
While I'll admit to riding my bike on the streets in our subdivision exercising my goof ball GSP I generally do it before sunrise when the road surface is cooler. A couple of miles of our route are on a sidewalk, if we encounter walkers/joggers or other people out walking their dogs I'll anounce loudly what side I intend to pass on and then move off the sidewalk and onto the grass as far away as possible to overtake the person.

I am very selective about the roads I ride on. I am fortunate that I don't have to use a bike to get where I need to go. I do it for exercise. We have a LOT of dedicated paths here and I use them.

My biggest fear and the risk that is most difficult to mitigate is being hit from behind. I wear bright colors and my default position is mid lane. Being mid lane makes me more visible. Other motorists are much more likely to process me as traffic if I am mid lane. I have had drivers stare right at me when I was on the shoulder and pull right out in front of me. It happens far less frequently when I am mid lane. When a vehicle approaches from behind I kinda drift a little bit within the lane to make myself more visible. Well before they get close I am processing how I will help them get around me. If I can move onto the shoulder, into a parking lane, into a parking lot or other, I'll happily do it. If I can't get out of their way but they can safely pass, then we are all good. I am planning an escape route though in the event that it doesn't look like they see me. I am also looking over my shoulder so that they know that I know they are there.

In places where they can't safely pass and I can't get out of the way, I'll often hold up a finger as if to say "just a sec." I have found that if you let people know that you give a piss about their presence, they are much more patient. When it becomes safe for them to go around, or I find a place to get out of the way, then I wave them around and wave at them. That has served me perfectly. I often get a wave back.

I don't understand why it's an issue for anyone when cyclists are side by side on a road that's so narrow they'd have to go into the oncoming lane to safely pass a single cyclist. Tests have shown that motorists are in the oncoming lane for less time when they pass side by side cyclists rather than those that are strung out end to end. In the case of the video that I posted, the cyclist being side by side was a complete non-issue. There were no other cars in the left lane. What kind of ballbag gets worked up over the effort that it takes to move over? They didn't even have to slow. Is it the physical or emotional difficulty of applying gentle pressure to the steering wheel that causes people to lose their schidt?

I cannot envision any situation in which I's have a hard time passing side by side cyclists on a motorcycle. You can go from 10-40 in 2-3 seconds on almost any motorcycle. It was difficult for me to pick off a pack of Harleys in deals gap on my scooter. I had to work at that.

Wow, that was easy! Point proven. 😁

Far and away the most obnoxiously militant and annoying subset. They'll post a pic of a delivery truck parked in the bike lane making a delivery to a business that has no parking lot and no off street parking anywhere. I'll ask them where they would park if they were driving the truck and get "it's not my problem, just not in the bike lane." They post a pic with their rant. The pic will show a wide open road with no traffic. I think about them the same way I think about motorists complaining about cyclists. Just go around, it ain't that damn hard.

I can believe that

BOOM, good one cashking

For all the bicycle hate out there, Im glad everyone enjoys riding behind a combine for 5 miles

No one has tossed anything at me yet for driving the bush hog tractor 12 miles at 7mph 🤠🤠🤠

Farmers have to do what they have to do. Bicycle riders just do because they can!!!!

new game grab the noodle, think a cop would pull them over for that one, they start doing that schit around here I'll put my dog in the back with the window down she loves to shred pool noodles

goodam bicycles

You would like that game. Is that a West Virginia thing? lolololol

Everyone who does't agree with Pauli is inferior...

lolololol indeed.........
