Why do people hate bicyclists so much? :(

Why do people hate bicyclists so much? :(

Share the road!

>traffic is so bad where I am that it's faster to bike to/from work than to drive
>am now a bike-fag

I hate all vehicles that obstruct traffic, go faster or pull over

I'll share the road when you get the fuck out of the middle of the road during rush hour.

You don't own the fucking road, you slow shit down, piss everyone off and are an accident waiting to happen.

Quit being such a beta nu male cuck and buy a fucking car like every other person.

Fuck you

They think traffic rules don't apply to them, they drive on sidewalks, endanger pedestrians and themselves and blame everyone else if their reckless driving gets them into trouble.

i don't hate all bicyclists but my city has a bike rental program and the people riding those are generally absolute retards

and the ones who think you aren't allowed to pass them.. fuck right off

>buzzwords: the post

>Why do people hate bicyclists so much?
The accept no responsibility, liability, or accountability for any of their actions.
They are a danger to themselves and everyone else who uses the road.
They are selfish, ignorant, and flagrantly disregarded laws other road users must abide by.

hello r9k

a cyclist on the sidewalk killed my dog

fuck cylists

Cyclists "Share the road" in the same way "Common sense gun control" is "Common sense"

They pedal down the road at a leisurely 20mph if that, then try and block people from passing because it's """Unsafe to pass""" when in actuality they're vastly increasing the chances of themselves and the driver behind them getting rear ended.

Point out the fact to any of them that they don't need to be in the fucking street, and the sidewalk will accommodate them and their childrens toys, they suddenly become lawyers, spouting some extremely centralized new york city law about no bicycles on the sidewalk, despite the fact that they're in a cleveland suburb, the sidewalks are completely empty, and there exists no such law in ohio.

Cyclists tend to be liberals more often than not, and it's easy to see why.

>extremely centralized new york city law

That law applies almost everywhere you retard

You essentially just described women in general.

Most of them don't give a shit about traffic laws. On top of that fast bikes are shit on anything that isn't smooth pavement so you have to go in front of the traffic in order to avoid potholes.

How about you get on the sidewalk and get the fuck out of the road

It really dosen't.
it's not in south carolina, it's not in maine, it's not in nevada outside vegas, its not in ohio, it's not in michigan,

Tell me again how it's """""Everywhere""""" you dumb fuck

It's illegal to ride a bike on the pavement in the UK.

I drive and I also own a road bike. Cyclists are fine as long as they leave openings for cars to overtake and stick to traffic laws, which most do in my experience.

I drive also a bicycle and the car, what I don't understand is why some bicyclists have to drive in the middle of the road or where there is bike lane not use that, not instead they drive in the middle of car lane. Other than that I'm cool with bicyclists, don't blame bicycle blame stupid people, just like women drivers :^)

Make sure your bike has fucking gears if you're going to be riding, buy some mirrors, use a bell or a horn, install a generator so you don't have batteries to run out of for your headlights AND taillights, pump up your tires, install a proper seat that allows for ease of pedaling, keep your chain oiled, wear bright clothing, make sure you have reflectors, follow the traffic signals that are there for YOUR protection not just to ignore so you can flaunt your unmotorized curiosities, ride in a straight line, and for the love of Pete use your hand signals.

Most rampant cycling problems can be eliminated by doing all of that.

>gears
>city bike

Nah

>Something is illegal in my rainy socialist shithole
wow what a shocker.

You don't get it. "Everywhere" is New York to him. Being a typical liberal New Yorker, he can't perceive of any view of reality other than his own.

Some of the bikerz in my area wont even take the bike lane when there is one perfectly safe.

Internal gear hub is love igh is life.
10€ 20 year old sachs spectro 7 speed hub with coaster brake. Fuck yeah

There is intentionally bike roads next to walking path. Use them you fuking poortards

it's a cager mindset. anything that slows them down by even a fraction sends them into a rage.

I don't understand why cyclists don't understand that they are the smaller mass in a collision. THEY should be 10x careful as anyone else should be, because if they get hit, they're more likely to die.

Same with motorcyclists, but at least those cuts just speed ahead and not do shit that's completely retarded.

I was in a dudes car and we where driving up to Markham at around 8 pm, we're in Markham and then out of nowhere, this bike rides right in front of us, my dude brakes down from 70. Fucker wasn't wearing any reflective clothing, no lights and shit. And he was cutting across the street.

And no we weren't going like a bat out of hell either, we where going maybe 10kommunisms over the limit.

Anyway, he hits him and he ran the fuck away. I told him to check on the guy, but he said, no fuck it. I didn't hear about a cyclist dying in the news, so i assume he was fine, plus he had brake work down and his brake was great and probably slowed down to 30km.

>Europoors so butthurt, they have to make shit up.

>be American

>"""American"""

They should pay for insurance

>americlaps and eurocucks

>Share the road!
No, I refuse to willingly share either my taxes with welfare frauds or share the road with bicyclists clogging the road up. I only share because the liberal laws will penalize me if I don't hand over the money or road space.

There's also lots of times where the bicylist rides CASUALLY at a sightseeing pace instead of trying to go faster at a travelling pace. That makes it feel more like they are taunting the cars by waving the law under everyone's nose and forcing LOTS of people to be delayed.

>Some of the bikerz in my area wont even take the bike lane
It's full of glass and sharp rocks that cut tires and nails, staples, and the occasional hypodermic. As cars go by, they randomly cause debris to end up at the side of the road. Thus the bike lane fills up with nasty debris that makes tires go flat. Thus, in my area, you often find bikes riding outside the bike lane and only going back in the bike lane if a car comes by. As soon as the car is gone, the biker goes back on the road where his tires won't be cut up or punctured.

>be American
>elect Hillary Clinton as leader
Hillary will win because all the mexicans and blacks hate Trump's anti-crime and anti-welfare platform. To them, either type of platform goal oppresses them or oppresses their family members.

I don't normally in cities and small towns.

Cyclists need to stay off back roads though. It is dangerous for everyone involved.

I can't stand the riders with the fancy skintight suits. Those ones hog the entire lane, won't get over, and ignore nearly all traffic laws.

The kids with casual clothing riding in the grass getting as far over as possible? Those guys don't bother me. They'll yield to traffic as they know they're slower.

But the fuckswits in the suits on expensive bikes? I want to run those guys over.

i hit a guy on a bike the other day with my truck

>SO DOES THE FUCKING BIKE, CROSSING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME WITHOUT LOOKING

>bike freaks out

>mfw multiple witnesses and dashcam

cops come, bike gets ticketed, i get nothing

still a fucking hassle and i didn't make it to the motorcycle store before it closed

Cyclists around here are stuck up arrogant pieces of shit.
Yes, please keep riding in the middle of the lane on a 2 lane street at 15mph, blocking everyone behind you and flipping people off when they rightfully honk at your stupid ass.
You're effectively forcing everyone to drive into oncoming traffic to over you.
And what happens when you stop at a red light?
You take the crosswalk and pretend you're a pedestrian!

Kill yourself.

>all this asspain

feels nice not being a fat piece of shit cager

> He likes being poor

2/10, see me after class.

americans pay 20% of their yearly income in car expenses, whether it's in car depreciation, inspections, insurance, repairs, fuel, traffic citations or registration fees.

Cyclists pay none of that.
They're also not morbidly obese because they bought into the "american dream" of wasting a gallon of gas to buy a gallon of milk.

>Cyclists pay none of that.


>enthusiast level bicycle is like a few thousand dollars
>easily stolen
>have to buy tons of spandex and anal lube

100% this also you guys are gay ass fuck key word "ass fuck" where I live its bad as these guys refer to themseleves as "biker gangs" LMFAO

I don't think you can put a price on being healthy and physically fit.
Also, there's nothing wrong with experiencing a prostate orgasm as a male.

>1000+ USD bicycles

You could just get a fucking motorcycle for that price and go a million times faster

are you seriously saying that cyclists' average wages are only equivalent to 24k a year AKA a 12 dollar an hour job?

City cyclists can be dicks, running stop signs, randomly changing lanes, not using the bike path because they're apparently too cool to use the infrastructure built specifically for them, that sort of thing. They know what they're getting into though, and generally don't give a shit if you pass them with a foot or two of space, as long as you don't actually hit them.

The long haul guys that ride around on the back roads can be dicks too, but a fair few have gotten killed this year, so the bulk of them now stay about as far over as they can get, the ones I've seen anyway. A couple years ago, finding one cyclist riding down the middle of the lane on a busy road was a pretty common site, not so much this year though. Riding two abreast and blocking the lane used to be pretty common too, but all the ones I've seen this year have either squished closer together to let me by or dropped to single file until I was by them.

The real problem is people that think their geo metro is 20 feet wide and refuse to pass a cyclist at all ever until there's exactly zero traffic visible for at least 3 miles. And then they pass them at a 2 MPH difference in speed while still being only a foot or two away anyway, despite the completely empty lane they could quite easily move into.

>and generally don't give a shit if you pass them with a foot or two of space

Ever notice why so many of them have gopro cams on them?
They WANT stuff like this to happen to them, just so they can act like arrogant shitheads and take the moral high ground "OH I'M JUST A CYCLIST LOOK AT THAT ANGRY CAGER!!".

>implying the average cyclist is employed

>tfw old chromoly hand made USA schwinn

you don't have to spend a lot for a good bike

...

...

>enthusiast level bicycle is like a few thousand dollars

Meanwhile your shitbox car is a few thousand dollars. And you have to buy a new one every year.

Just stop.

>implying the average cyclist is employed

The average cyclist works at a comfy tech job making $150K a year starting salary.

Meanwhile your average car driver works a McDonald's for $7 an hour with no hopes of a raise ever.

>this is what bike cucks actually believe.
