This isn't a text from last night. It's a random thought. My friend sent me an email the other day with a bunch of random thoughts and thus was one of them. Haha. .....it is funny though.
This is the exact reason I have a CCW and carry with me every single time I ride my bike. I learned that lesson after getting hit in the head by a glass bottle thrown out the car window by a douchebag just like you.
i couldnt agree more....cyclists take up half the damn road cant do more than 10 mph... and feel the need to drive on busy ass roads... i hate you all cyclists
Why expand a road to add a bike lane an ban bikes on the side walk when a bike does not meet min safety standards cars must to\nBe on that road. Why not expand the sidewalk and add a bike lane there and ban bikes from\nThe roads?
all you people who hate on cyclist maybe you should TRY it one time.. ride on a busy freaking road and try NOT to get hit by a car... people think its easy to ride on a sidewalk, but ride on a road bike, there is no suspension, we can not get off a curb easy.. so please try riding a road bike on a road before you judge... thanks.
@3:35.. moron, in most states cyclists are not allowed by law to ride on the sidewalk. it's more dangerous with intersections and driveways, etc. and if you really hope someone riding from point a to point b on a bicycle gets hit, then.. well.. fuck you.
I agree, except when I am a cyclist, I hate drivers and pedestrians.
Did you know as a cyclist you can report cars that honk at you or try to drive you off the road?
Although I will say, if you are a cyclist who ignores the rules of the road, then you deserve what you get. You can't ignore stop signs and red light, you can't go the wrong way down a one way street, you can't cross intersections with peds.
@ 2:15
Bikes can't follow the same laws as automobiles. So you want to sit behind a cyclist going 15 mph on a no-passing road with a speed limit of 35? Bikes shouldn't be considered automobiles. Cyclists are closer to pedestrians than they are to automobiles.
And fuck you, cyclists are responsible for only about 10% of cyclist-automobile accidents. If you can't figure out how to drive with a cyclist on the road, you probably shouldn't be driving.
This text is soo true. I live in a suburban/country area. There a group of about ten cyclists who ride together, usually at rush hour, which is absolutely stupid. And there's nowhere to pass them since our roads around here are so windy. Go ride bikes in a damn state park or something.
yeah, they share them, they dont follow them. Oh i'm cycling up a slight hill to a stop sign, well, if i stop it'll be hard to get going again, i'll just go through it. etc.
Cyclists, stop talking shit. We're sorry you cant afford cars like us. Newsflash: no matter how hard you try, youll never be a car. Get off the roads, its not our fault if you get hit, its yours for being broke when you couldve been American.
I hate cyclists they either think they own the road or the path so next time one tries to fuck u off just stick out ur arm n clothesline the fucker! ;-)
well good, because I hate you too! Many cyclists DO follow the same rules as cars. Of course some don't, just like some of drivers go around drunkenly smashing into things. The difference is, cyclists are much more likely to get injured in a collision.
i when some jackass in a car yells at me to ride on the sidewalk. by law in my state (and in most) cyclists can't ride on the sidewalk. and even if they could, it's far more dangerous than riding in the road. learn the laws and learn how to drive with cyclists and maybe you won't be so easily frustrated..
I hate it when there is a full open sidewalk and these fucks are riding on the road. Its so stupid I hope they get hit.
They think they are some sort of car or something.
While we cyclists can find consolation in the fact that the petty insults you fling can never reach our moral highground, you drivers can find it in the fact that you ARE actively smothering us all to death, cyclists, pedestrians, AND yourselves. Good job!
Now that that's settled, let's talk about the real a-holes... drivers who gripe about second hand smoke!
dear god. You all are morons. Can you imagine if all the cyclists started obeying the driving laws? Traffic would be perpetually stuck at 15- 20 mph.
Good job on being retarded.
3:34- i'd rather ride my bike and take my chances than ride the slow, shitty buses in this city with their terrible routes and terrifying passengers. no thanks.
seriously. bicyclists are supposed to stay as far to the right as possible, unless they believe it would be unsafe for a car to pass them. the speed limits obviously don't apply to them.
This is the most legit statement I've heard in a long time. Cyclists (ESPECIALLY messengers) are in their own little world and are so fucking dangerous on the road. Fuck biking, take public transportation.
The cyclist law sucks ASS. What collision would you prefer to happen, a cyclist with a car or a pedestrian with a cyclist. Much greater risk for cyclist deaths in the road than pedestrian deaths on the sidewalk.
3:25 - I've ridden a bike in the city and I'll never do it again because its so FUCKING dangerous. In the last three years I've been five bicyclists get killed on the intersection where I work, and every time it's been deemed their fault because they weren't following the rules of the road. And if you're in a city, public transit is always an option.
i dont have a problem with cyclists who know what they are doing. but i feel like a lot of people dont. I cant tell you how many times i've had a cyclist just cut in front of me, or continue down the middle of the street in front of me making it impossible for me to get around them. All the power to you if you want to ride your bike, i'm all for saving the environment and such. BUT LEARN HOW TO RIDE YOUR DAMN BIKE FIRST!
I got hitbya guy riding a bike once as a pedestrian. If my backpack hadn't broken my fall I probably would've died. So yes, cyclists can go fuck themselves, I was following my rules.
Fake. Also, what you cyclists don't know is that motorists secretly WANT to kill you. Sure we act all horrified and remorseful in court and in front of your families, but we secretly award points and high five each other with every cyclist we claim.
Live strong!
Cyclists are losers. Get off the road unless you can go the speed limit. It takes a lot of will power to avoid hitting those pricks with my car. "But we don't pollute and contribute to greenhouse gases blah blah blah" Take your "global warming" garbage back to the fiction section where it belongs.
i'm glad so many people knew this from the random thoughts thing circulating on fb/emails...and only 2 other people give credit to aaron karo and ruminations. it and all the other random thoughts are from his site.
I've also ridden across the country, Washington state to Maine.
If you hate bikes, and the people riding them, you are ignorant and selfish.
Every state I've been to on a bike has a Share the Road law. I stay to the right as far as possible, and try to make sure cars are allowed the space they need to travel at normal speeds and safe speeds. When I'm driving and I see guys riding 3 wide blocking the whole lane, I yell at them. It's everyone's responsibility to share the road and use it wisely.
3:19 : no, cyclists are NOT in their own little world. have you ever ridden a bike in a city before?! it takes a lot more concentration, attention and quick reflexes to cycle.
public transit isn't always an option.
@3:25 so true.. public transportation is simply not an option in my city. but it's scary to ride bikes here. i have many friends who have been hit by drunk drivers. i was almost hit by a drunk lady one night when she ran a red light and then a stop sign. i caught up to her at the liquor store a few blocks down and called the cops on her. she belligerently told me that cyclists have no place on the road because there would always be drunk drivers like her out there.. nice logic.
hate cyclists, an hate dudes who try to use that they ride bikes like its a super power to try to get chicks to fuck them. all it announces to me is that your dick prob doesnt work from hittin too many bumbs an that your an asshole
i'm a cyclist and drivers and pedestrians are both fucking retarded.
i spend most of my time shouting "GO FASTER!" at cars and pedestrians assume i'm going really slowly and step out in front.
i will agree that most other cyclists on the roads are also fucking retarded. i don't cycle on the pavement but people who do piss me off.
i think i just hate everyone!
