cyclists who ride on non-residential roads.

OK, I had a buddy who died rock jumping in Hawaii.

Last year? If so I know him through my line of work.

Also, one last serious question for bicyclist. How come you guys always stop at a red light, look both ways then run the light?

[mmmbeans]

Because,

A: We can, you would do it too if you could.

and B: Because it's much safer and more efficient for everyone in traffic that I get a head start and get up to speed so you guys in cars don't have to wait for a bunch of bikers (most of whom are slower than I,) to get up to speed or make turns or whatever. You guys can mash gas when the light turns green and pass us at speed rather than try to pass people in an active intersection.

God I wanna car bump u on the road one day so bad.

I thought people riding bikes on the road had to follow all the rules of the road that a car does?

So the next time that I see one of them stop for a second and then go through a red light or stop sign, I'm going to do a citizen's arrest!

So instead of being stuck behind you right away it takes 6 seconds to get stuck behind ya? Also, how is not safe for something that can do 0-60 in under 8 seconds to run a light but something that can do 0-60 in never can?

Are you sincerely arguing that you don't break traffic laws?

When car drivers start respecting cyclists and it is safe for me to obey all traffic laws I will. Until then, too f*cking bad. Cyclists are AT BEST seen (when we are lucky enough to be seen) as an inconvenience on the road, more often than not they are treated maliciously. I'm going to do what's safe for me because I don't have a 1 ton steel cage surrounding me. If you don't understand that, again, too f*cking bad.

I wasn't born like this, I became like this through years of being treated like shiat by stupid f*cks who couldn't just leave me the alone and let me do what I wanted to do. All I want to do is ride my bike and get where I'm going. You don't like my method of transportation? Write a f*cking letter.

edit: this isn't directed specifically at you jbro. sorry for the rant.

[Jbro]

PM me you're address and who to make the letter out to please.... I seriously have no problem with 99% of people on bikes, just the 1% of them who act like they own the road.

[mmmbeans]

just send it to jangler.
