Can someone explain to me why it's legal for bicyclists to use roads and streets? I was driving home from work today and I got caught behind three of these slow, annoying fuckers. One after the other - they coast in the middle of the road, wearing clothes that are way too form-fitting and sunglasses that they bought at Bass Pro Shops, and I don't see why they should be able to do so.
I pay taxes on my car and it's licenses, it's plates, and it's registration so that I can use the roads that the government paves and organizes for me and other motor vehicle drivers to do so. What taxes are cyclists paying? Other than the sales tax on their FagBreeze 2800 or whatever bikes for grown ups are called these days, none. Why should they be allowed to use the roads?
Also, let's talk about public transit/buses. There is no argument against the fact that public transit/buses/etc punish those successful and able enough to buy and operate their own motor vehicles and reward those who do not. Public transit is a sink of taxpayer money, it harbors crime, vandalism, and homelessness, and it inconveniences the rest of us, forcing more resource usage and causing a FURTHER increase to taxes and even an environmental hazard. It sucks.
Let's outlaw public transit and bicycles on streets.
>implying the government should "develop" anything other than military, roads, and diplomacy shit

I routinely hit bicyclists when they run stop signs for fun. I love how ass blasted they get when they tell me they are going to sue me for their broken bones and I just laugh my ass off and tell them I need their insurance information for being at fault

>falling for the car Jew
If the auto industry stopped lobbying the transportation department there would be bike lanes thus solving this problem. I ride my bike to work everyday and I'm lucky enough to have a lane. It sucks when I don't because I know I'm way slower than cars but I try to stick as close to side walk as possible. Cruiser fags riding in the street is retarded. I get where your frustration is coming from but some people don't have a choice or it's the only form of exercise they can squeeze in.
As far as public transportation it's a necessity for bigger cities. Can you imagine if everyone was driving a car? Shit would look like India or China, you would have to leave the house hours before your shift starts and more gas would be needed as your just sitting in traffics for hours.
Boost your test levels and ride a bike to work if you don't live too far. You'll be fitter, happier, more productive and you'll save a decent amount of money. Pic related is my daily rider.

Isaac Parker
>what taxes do cyclists pay All the same taxes you pay. The roads are funded from general income taxes rather than fuel or car taxes. So cyclists have every right to use the same roads as you do. Most of the cyclists also have a car. Also roads aren't made for the exclusive use of motor vehicles.
>b-but I don't like their clothing You sound real fucking insecure.
>public transit Every single bike, bus, subway and tram decrease the amount of cars on roads. The more bikes, pedestrians and public transit we have the less cars will there be on the roads to fill them. If you really want to ride your massive car for single occupant trips taking massive amounts of space you should advocate as much biking and public transit as possible so your trips in the cars will be easier due to less traffic.

I agree OP. I almost got killed trying to pass two bicyclists riding side by side. I was on a 2-lane rural highway and I had to pass them on a turn and didn't see the truck until I was halfway into the oncoming lane. I barely avoided it. I had slowed down to about 50 but the speed limit was 75 so it would have been a nasty crash. The bikefags were oblivious as usual. I hate it how entitled they think they are considering a car could hit them and what's left of them could be cleaned off with a garden hose
Ryan Anderson
>I tried to overtake in a dangerous place without properly vision >it's the cyclists fault I almost killed myself because I have no patience to slow down for 5 seconds Made me reply/10

Jason Williams
I was going 80mph in a 75 zone. I couldn't have stopped. Thats 128 km/h in euro speed.
Elijah Gray
I've actually nailed a biker before, he flipped over my hood and I was laughing but I was also very worried but he was fine. fucked up his bike though
Jayden Lopez
Your car doesn't have functioning brakes? Or were you just driving way too fast to slow down in case anything were to come up in front of you?
That said there's absolutely no reason for 2 cyclists to ride side by side, especially on narrow rural highways. And I say this as a cyclist. I also hate cyclists that blast through stop signs and red lights without any caution secretly hoping they'd get hit sometime. I do run reds and don't stop on stop signs if no one is nearby but I slow down and make sure no one is coming before doing so.

That's exactly why I ride on the sidewalk unless I'm on some dead as fuck residential side street.
Nolan Gray
its illegal for anyone 16 and older to ride bikes in the sidewalks. make it legal again problem solved
Julian Lewis
Riding on the sidewalk is way more dangerous in my experience.
Gabriel Rogers
How?
Levi Walker
I saw them after coming around a turn, and slowed down as fast as I could. I shouldn't be forced to slam on my brakes in any case. There was a 3 foot (~1m) wide hard shoulder that they could use too, but they were side by side on the road proper. I say if you can't ride within 10mph (16kph) of the speed limit you shouldn't be on the road.
Noah Phillips
All you drivers bitching about urban cyclists adding three minutes to your commute once every blue moon seriously need to shut the fuck up.
At least you don't have to deal with the advanced form of negroid which is a negroid with a stolen bicycle.
Tfw most bicycle riders in my city are niggers with revoked license. State started requiring insurance for mopeds so they can get those precious tax dollars. Now I have to store my bike in my house and in the supply closet at work because it would get stolen otherwise.
Constantly see police stopping bicyclists for drunk driving.
Once saw a dude on a bike roll up on some nu-male and mugged him, then hoped on his bike and sped away like he was in a high speed pursuit. I was across the street but pretty sure they could hear me laughing the whole time.
City spent millions of tax dollars on a bike path to facilitate a 'green' image. Niggers slowly creep in and now its a no-man's land where people only go if they want to be mugged, stabbed or raped.
Charles Cook
what pisses me off the fucking most about cyclists is that in my city, there are sidewalks EVERYWHERE. every single fucking road, there is a smooth cement sidewalk right next to it.
yet these faggots still ride in the road
i fucking hate cyclists so fucking much, but they look so completely retarded that you can't help but feel sorry for them. you know their wives aren't fucking them so they have to get some kind of penile activity by rubbing their balls against the seat of their bikes for hours on end, and their lives are completely devoid of any meaning so they have to feel like "GOSH I PEDALED NINE MILES TODAY" or else they'll hang themselves
(catchpa - select all cars)
Ryder Nelson
Yeah, and the fucking pigs will give you a ticket for riding on the sidewalk. I've done it anyway, but thats the reason.
Dylan Mitchell
Cars pulling out from parking lot onto side walk not looking or vision blocked by a sign/tree. The side walks here are poorly managed and a lot of them just end for no reason. At least if your in the road or bike lane you'll be noticed a bit easier. Still dangerous as fuck due to shitty drivers no matter what.
Dylan Turner
Sidewalks are for pedestrians. Also, you guys look like a giant faggots in those yellow tight pants.
Easton Jones
I hate bikes in roundabouts, but that's it
Easton Watson
it shouldn't be legal to have a fleshy biological presence, anywhere, period.
Parker Thomas
The shoulders are sometimes filled with garbage, road kill, or just are in unrideable condition because they haven't had any maintenance. Also some places around here have destroyed perfectly good shoulders by digging rumble strips in the middle of the shoulder so that there isn't enough space to ride between the strip and the edge of the road which forces bikes closer to the road.
>people hate cyclists because they don't follow the law >large majority of these people want cyclists to break the law by riding on the sidewalk
Adrian Perez
Just because we would like some stuff to happen, doesn't make it real user. I would also gladly bump into these retards, or runners in the park that cross by the middle of the street.
Evan Wilson
anyone who is a pedestrian should be shot
Xavier Bell
lol then build bike lanes instead of whining like a baby
Eli Rogers
So I should ride on the road 100% of the time just because parking lots?
Even if I were to buy a helmet and all the pads I would never consider riding on the street with 3000lb death traps traveling by at 50 mph.

>I pay taxes on my car and it's licenses, it's plates, and it's registration so that I can use the roads Learn to apostrophe Also, roads are not paid for by licenses, plates, and regos. They're only a little drop in a massive funding bucket. You have the same rights to the road as everyone else. You're not a special snowflake. You're also disgusting fat and will die of heart disease.

think how much that costs to construct, all for a few cyclists that bring no revenue in.. they might ease congestion on city roads slightly but this is clearly not economical

There are well known laws for cycles on roads here. Single file at the side of the road to allow passing distance for other vehicles. If any of the cunts don't do this I just run my car right next to them or hold my horn on. I fucking hate cyclists retarded cunts.

I'm saying it's not natural. I rode a bike to school every day in middle and high school until I bought a car, literally butthurt.

Jaxson Stewart
Cars killed the american dream, I know you think that they are the american dream, but dependance to fosil fuels and the effort they had to make to made the cities and the country car friendly, simple destroyed your urban planning.
>Single file at the side That's not the law, it's just common. The law calls for defensive cycling - not allowing cunts like you to pass by cycling in the middle of the road - when the roads are shit or people are getting dangerous
Some of the only laws on cycles are that it's verboten to cycle on the pavement

I don't think you realize how big our country is.

Speaking as a someone who commutes on bicycle, I'd much rather be on the sidewalk but that's illegal.
I don't want to be flattened by some texting teenager in an enormous SUV but until they let us on the sidewalk or build bike lanes I have to share the road with her.

I swear to god every bicyclist does it just to feel superior to people with real jobs that they have to be on time for.

What the fuck do you know about the American Dream? It's about the freedom to get up and move, to go wherever you want. Motor vehicles allow this for pretty much everybody.

It's actually faster in many cases to take the bike instead of driving because of all the other cars. There's also a lot of small sideroads or parks you can bike through which cuts time down.

motorists should get off their fucking phones and learn how to use their car. in america you can have down's syndrome and still be allowed to drive, wtf?
Aiden Parker
I spend a lot of time driving and never feel inconvenienced by bicycles. Oh no I have to slow down for a few seconds and wait for an opportunity to overtake. If anything I like it as gives me the chance to put the pedal to the metal occasionally.
As for public transport I don't know about usa but rush hour is bad enough and if everyone had to drive it would be hell.
Julian Reed
As for riding bikes, this just isnt a logical method of transport for 3 quarters of Americans, has nothing to do with self perception.
Buses and like trains and shit arent common in most places unless youre in a sizable city. infrastructural just doesnt make it possible without overhauling roads that have probably been the same since the 30s. The mentality against public transport is the desire to be self reliant. Something we Euros fail to strive for, in the bigger picture.
Jason Ward

It's a combination of many causal factors, but between the diet (corn subsidized and stuffed into absolutely everything), the lifestyle (largely sedentary, more office jobs than anything else, hobbies are turning towards more in door activities) and the fact our country/society are designed for cars (it's not rare to live 20-30 miles away from your job) and it's a perfect storm of balloon people.
I'm surprised obesity isn't 70% here, it's so easy to get fat.
