• Rant on Bicyclists

Normally I wouldn't have an attack on Bicyclists in my town, we're trying to become a green city, and in the process we've made new bike lanes. However, today pissed me off. I was on my way home from Congress Ave. (Austinites rejoice). My first date with a girl I knew from elementary school. Her parents divorced and she moved to Connecticut with her mom. The date was for us to catch up and possibly kiss since I hadn't gotten to last time she left (she kinda likes me). Back to walking home with her. We take a left onto a street which is next to the west side of town underneath an underpass, it's a very busy street. We're talking about songs she's learned to play on the guitar, I get ready to tell her I could help to teach her, but the words never really escape my mouth because of a [b]FUCKING BICYCLIST[/b] who scares her and I shitless. We're standing at a stop sign and this motherfucker speeds right between us with at least 2 feet of clearance (facing eachother). Underneath the underpass there is an exit from a highway, which has a U-Turn. The bicyclist jets out from in-between us, and crosses a road with 6 lanes of exiting vehicles. He flies straight into a huge F-150 that's going about 60mph on the exit ramp. The F150 slams on his breaks making the tire screeching, the bicyclist shoots out from in front of it and the F-150 starts to have it's back wheels slide to the right (becoming sideways). Think about it, this was all the Bicyclists fault. The F-150 ends up crashing into a VW GTI, a 4Runner, and a Tacoma. He popped his wheel on the back of the 4runner (Loudest fucking noise I've ever heard), and there's damage all over the road from those cars. Whenever the bicyclists get hit in our town they say "OH THE DRIVERS THINK THEY'RE KING OF THE ROAD." All I have to say is fuck you. The drivers try to be aware but when you exit from a ramp and someone on a fucking bike cuts you off, there is a shitstorm you can create. YOU guys act like you own the road. And this doesn't apply to all bicyclists (like members on the forum, maybe), but I mean really. We are 2 ton vehicles, you can at least have the decency to get up on the sidewalk and slow down or ride in the bike lanes. Fuck you asshole bicyclists, respect the road and don't be a dumbass. TL:DR - Bicyclist cuts off a truck going 60, crashes into 3 cars, i rage.

Did you get the girl? I wish you luck on that. The bicyclist's pants will be too tight and his dick will fall off so he can't get girls.
I dunno if it's bicyclists to get mad at or stupid drivers in general.
Nobody likes cyclists.
We hate you too, except we are actually active enough to get off our asses.
In my neighborhood you end up driving by 3 or 4 on the way into town. groups bike side by side and I usually end up getting as close as possible to them and flooring it. Usually results in them falling over or giving the finger.

Oh sorry about that, I'll be more careful next time.
[QUOTE=BANNED USER;22175248] Wow you are a baby.[/QUOTE] Don't you know it sister. But on a more serious note, cars cut me off all the time on my bike.
At least he's gotten more exercise in one day than you have in a whole week.
[QUOTE=Wayword;22175235]We hate you too, except we are actually active enough to get off our asses.[/QUOTE] So you're saying that being an unaware fuck renders you a better person because you exercise on a bike? and apparently all other drivers are lazy fucks who don't go to the gym?
[QUOTE=Namo;22175272]At least he's gotten more exercise in one day than you have in a whole week.[/QUOTE] Partially true, the guy was a hippy. I doubt he does anything, his bike was a weird one like out of the 50's. [editline]11:40[/editline] a cruiser? [img]http://modculture.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/06/25/schwinn_cruiser.jpg[/img] I ride dirt bikes and I do football (for fun), so I don't know stuff about regular bikes other than road bikes and mountain bikes.

Well you made it sound like he was on a speed bike, with the skintight cyclist uniform and silly-looking helmet, working his ass off. Sorry ;)
I love how these people defend a guy that caused a 3 car wreck on the sole fact he is getting more exercise than the OP. Shame on you. Shame on all of you.

[QUOTE=Wayword;22175361]And that's what makes it hilarious. Good day good sir.[/QUOTE] I guess it is a bit funny that i drive a fucking monster truck and have never gotten in an accident, and this guy hops on a bike and causes a 3 car pileup...It does make me giggle when i think about it but come on, how fucking retarded can you get to ride like this and blame the drivers for being the shitty drivers?
You'd hate Davis in California, so many cyclists there.
[QUOTE=Wayword;22175265]Don't you know it sister. But on a more serious note, cars cut me off all the time on my bike.[/QUOTE] I'd bike, but since I live in LA, you can barely cross a crosswalk without some dumbass nearly killing you.
On the whole, motorists are bigger douches than any cyclist.
[QUOTE=Fishys;22175586]You'd hate Davis in California, so many cyclists there.[/QUOTE] I don't necessarily have a problem with cyclists in general, only the stupid ones that are out there, like in the OP. Do you think he stopped and went to check if everyone is OK? No, probably just went home and acted like nothing ever happened. Side note: I'm from Cali :D
[QUOTE=Klownox;22175748]On the whole, motorists are bigger douches than any cyclist.[/QUOTE] Not all. Only some.
Ride a bike, get the girl.
I don't have a problem with cyclists or motorists, I have a problem with dumbasses who try to cycle or drive though.
I hate cyclists who can't decide whether they're pedestrians or part of the traffic. At one point they could be going along the sidewalk and the next moment they drive right into the fucking road. My dad drives a huge car and he is so pissed at the several bicyclists that have almost killed themselves by cycling recklessly, so he has now decided to show no mercy and don't try to stop if some shitbag of a cyclists comes into the road without warning. And people cycling really slow in the road needs to get out, use the sidewalk, idiots.
Usually the cyclist fares worse than the car driver in accidents, for some perspective
Fucking cheap asses, can't afford a car/gas. Therefore they slow traffic down and burn down our crops!

Driving home from work I was going up a hill and there were two cyclists just in front. It's quite steep, so they were going at 0.0002 mph. The one behind managed to get to 0.0003mph, so he decided to overtake the other. It's quite wide for a British road, which means that there were cars parked on both sides so I couldn't overtake without hitting oncoming traffic. In the end there was a break in oncoming traffic and I overtook and left them for dust.
