I don't mind bikes but those points are valid.

Are you kidding they just uglied up all the city with those stupid af bike racks come on liberals get your shit together

This whole bicycle "revolution" that's happening in the US is only killing people. Getting a lot of people to use bicycle without having the right infrastructure is extremely dangerous.

REMINDER THAT IF YOU'RE NOT USING A BIKE HELMET WHILE RIDING A BIKE ON THE STREET YOU'RE A FUCKING DEGENERATE

Cycling is fun, buses are disgusting and filled with trash.

Commies want us to use collectivised transport, what a surprise.

Safety Nazi?

Oh boy, I can't wait to be crippled for life, but at least I'll survive (maybe) because I was wearing a helmet!

THATS ANIMAL ABUSE!!!

>I'd rather die than lose my legs/ arms

>National Socialism is le edge :-D

out of my board
now

>bikes utilize space less efficiently than cars

What kind of retarded cocksucker thought this one up?

It's supposed to save you from being crippled as well, depending on how you hit the ground.
I fell last year and would have ripped all the skin off the left side of my face if I wasn't wearing a helmet- it hit first and kept my head from smacking the pavement.

Bicycles are great

Are you incapable of comprehending what you read? Idiot.

>can't drive down the street without someone on a bike riding right out in front of you
>can't ride your bike down the street without some nigger on their phone almost ending your life

yes a meme picture of drake waving his hand around means that all of these cities officially decided to get rid of them because bikes are racist

Living in Seattle has made me learn to hate cyclists. Driving downtown is already a nightmare, but let's take away lanes to make bike lanes that incredibly under utilized. Also, their refusal to either act like cars or pedestrians drives me nuts. They seem convinced that the rules of the road don't apply to them.

Not everyone can afford themselves a car.
Accidents are inevitable, the best thing you can do is prepare for them.
Drunk drivers are found in every country.

Not to mention the amount of coal needed to make bicycles. Steel and AL require enormous amounts of coal. The problem is these retards don't understand how anything is made.

sorry my niggah, but I personally ride around doing wheelies every five seconds while wearing a black hoodie and facemask. I love to steal phones on my bike, as well.

>I'd rather die than lose my legs/ arms
Yes, I would.

>he doesn't want to be a cyborg
The flesh is weak.

You can do all of that AND survive a car crash on your bike by wearing a helmet.

There is also a chance of only losing 1 limb
There is also a chance of not losing any limbs
Legs can be replaced.
Arm prosthetics are one day away from being in the medical market.

You live a sad life.

Well if we didn't allow women drivers using a bike would be safer.

One decade away*

>Not everyone can afford themselves a car.
if you can't save up $8,000 you don't deserve to live

>limited range

I guess so when you're a fatass murilard'.

Kek, you're a fucking pussy. Anyone who wears a helmet while riding a bike deserves to get shot for being a faggot.

Bicycles are truly great. It feels wonderful to traverse huge swaths of the country using only your own physical power. I bike commute 10 miles everyday. I love that fattys and cripples can't use them because they are physical failures. It also feels great outrunning a lycra clad faggot on a $2500 titanium carbon fiber bicycle on my $200 steel and leather bike while wearing my work clothes. I love knowing my unrivalled superiority on the road is simply because of skill determination and raw physical prowess rather than just throwing money into parts or a better engine like a motor vehicle.

Especially women driving trucks. Whew lad.

>the right infrastructure
>for bikes
I ride my bike through the woods everyday, what kind of infrastructure do you need?

Yes this is true. Wear a helmet you faggots.

>Maintenance
>Insurance
>Bikes are more fun to ride
>When you can't magically wish yourself 8K€ and have to rely on your bike to ride to your workplace until you have saved up as much

You call those using helmets pussies the same reason 15-year olds call those who don't want to smoke sissies.
I really wish your kind goes extinct in the imminent future, you over-feminized fruitball.

bikes are only more fun to ride if you live in the city. maintenance is a non-issue if you're not an idiot, and insurance is a non-issue. you're a faggot if you use a bicycle.

Now now, it's good for a 5 year old to wear a helmet.

Start wearing a helmet in the car then. Places where there's the right infrastructure and where people know how to cycle are safe enough without helmets.

>Non-argument
>Non-argument

Australian damage control.

Helmets are important you faggot, whether for combat or cycling they'll save your life.

>not buying a car when you're 17 with money saved from work

Eh it decreases your chances of getting fucked up quite a lot
Day after graduation this guy in my class just got bumped from behind by a car at a stop sign (fender bender if it was 2 cars), he just fell off and cracked his head and died at 18

Same thing with seatbelts, I used to write them off as cucky but I personally know too many people who have already died from not wearing them

>calls me an over-feminized fruitball
>wears a helmet while riding a bike

No faggot. You can still just biff it and BOOM traumatic brain injury and you're now retarded. I suppose you probably wouldn't have much to worry about so go ahead ride naked and eat lead paint chips you fucking queer.

Correct

Your dumb ass is wasting a hospital bed and a physician's time.

Aye lad, that it does.

Yes, and you should also wear a helmet while driving a car.

I'm sorry Pedro, I get that you have to wear a helmet when walking or when you're stuck on your mobility scooter, but you have to keep in mind that people in other countries don't have bones made out of paper maché.

Bicyclists are all massive faggots I feel.

>girl comes over
>boy you got some thick legs

>go to gym
>man it's hot in here
>Change into shorts
>stacies on treadmill stare at them quads
>roiding bros start asking me how much I squat

Not since I have a seatbelt, airbags and a 2 tonne car you stupid dutchnigger.

I think we can both agree that there should never be laws forcing anyone to wear a helmet. You can wear a dildo strapped to your head for all I care but I've been in accidents where my helmet impacted the ground and twice it shattered or broke in half. That would have been my skull so I'm going to keep wearing a helmet.

I want to ride my bike more but I feel like traffic efficiency in my city drops 60% whenever I do

When I used to bike commute I would overtake fat gen Xers in full Lycra on their $2000 carbon fiber track bikes on my fixed gear steel frame bike in a tshirt and jeans all the time. The salt was palpable. Shoot man I miss those feels.

Are bikes /ourtransportation/?

I absolutely ignore all drivers and their bullshit. I only pay attention to their cars and always assume I am completely invisible.

LOL

South African here. I earn $4800 year. So I would have to save all my money for 2 years to afford a car. Or die.

>fixed gear
>steel frame

Yes brother, they are.

You're just poor and stupid. You're lucky you're stupid though, it gives you a sense of superiority based on your subjective estimate of your physical prowess alone.

Perhaps, to be fair if I went cycling in the US I'd also wear a bulletproof vest, just in case I accidentally ended up in the hood.

In Seattle, I've seen many bike riders just haul ass through red lights if they don't see any cars, even though they can't actually see the side traffic from the angle and speed they are going.

>Having 8K€ by the time you're 17

>Start wearing a helmet in the car then.
Flase equivalency.
Airbags already fulfill the job of providing one with safety.

>Places where there's the right infrastructure and where people know how to cycle are safe enough without helmets.
Abstract thought. There will always be a risk of a drunk driver, of a bad cycler, of a nigger thinking it's a good idea to visit your district, of a child getting in your way and you having to drive into something, if you're cycling too fast.

Is that an image of yourself?
The reason I call you over-feminized is because you don't wear a helmet because you're too concerned of what others think of you if you did.
I wear a helmet, because I can make decisions for myself. Literally not a single person in my life approved of bike helmets.
Once again, you're nothing more than a feminized, underage fruitball who acts beta to follow what his group, be it circle of friends or local community, is doing.

Let me sum it up for your puny brain:

Pros of using a helmet:
- Incredibly cheap life insurance, securing your head in 99% of cases.
- Will inspire children to do the same

Negatives of using a helmet:
- Some people on an anonymous forum will think you're a pussy

Soldiers also wear helmets, are they pussies for thinking they could get shot to their head? Even though the next enemy is a few miles away?
Were Romans sissies for using helmets, even though they had a big ass fucking scutum shielding their entire body from projectiles and melee contact?

The only fucking argument you can bring is that getting hit by a bullet in a skirmish happens more often than getting hit by a car in open traffic.
There are hundreds of thousands accidents involving bikes world wide per country.

I don't know leaf I do win or hit the top 3 in most of the organized road races I've ever done and NO ONE ever passes me on the road. My preference in bikes and cycling attire wouldn't change if I had a $10mil in the bank. Fixed is better. Steel is stronger. Leather saddles are more comfy. I am faster than you. Water is wet. The sky is blue. Canada sucks.

Gas the bikes race war now

I do actually carry a gun while cycling most of the time.

he's right, motorcarts are the future

any size deserves a ride

As a driver I fucking hate cyclists

As a cyclist I fucking hate other cyclists

Sweden detected, go prep Mohammud for his bike rides there Hans

>bikes are inaccessible to fatties
i think the problem are the fatties and the food system
>road space efficiency
see: vietnam
>competing with public transportation
?????

Why do cycling threads always bring out the edgelords?

Nem.
The problems are rather that bikes are inaccessible to people with no legs.
inb4 but pedals, you can get driving wheels with buttons that replace the pedals
>vietnam
Why the fuck would I know anything about that place, I didn't go there to lose a war.
>bikes take too much space on the road and transport very few people so they're not as efficient as public transport
Makes sense to me.

Because drivers make bad experience with a few leftist cyclists and automatically grow a hatred for all of them.

...

The thing is I've never had bad experiences with them. Granted, there aren't many where I live, but bad drivers and tourists who don't know where the fuck they're going are ten times worse.

...

I am alive today because I was wearing a bike helmet. Helmet got destroyed though.

bikes should NOT be on the same road as cars.

they should have just turned side walks into bike roads instead.

...

>fixed gear
Why is every cyclist in America a massive hipster faggot?

It's cool and hip to edgy about them, and a few bad leftist cyclists and kids act like complete fucktards so people tend to assume any cyclist is some smug retard.

Walked by a bike store in Seattle, they had a ton of candy colored Pee Wee Herman style hipster fixed gear bikes outside, but the prices were $2,500 to $4,000. Could not believe it.

...

...

>no legs
nobody forced them to use bicycle
>bikes take too much space on the road and transport very few people so they're not as efficient as public transport
same argument can be applied for cars and any other non-public transport so it's a non argument

i agree that public bike transport is stupid, but the OP doesnt mention that

Because they're easy to fix and maintain. Also requires you to know what the fuck your doing or you die, thus thinking the idiot population.

And where are people supposed to walk?

Thjis meme that every cyclist literally rides in the middle of the road taking up traffic is so fucking stupid. Most try their best to stay on the side of the road to let cars pass on through.

Very few of them think they "own the road."

>And where are people supposed to walk?
the same fucking place you dumbass.

Its insane, its a status symbol for trust fund hipsters who can afford to live central enough that a bike is plausible.

>largely inaccessible to people with disabilities

that's bullshit, they make bikes for all sorts of people, even those with non working legs or arms

So, you're against bikes and cars mingling, but bikes and walking people are ok?

You realize there's more potential for harm with them riding on the sidewalks, right?

There are people, light poles, mailboxes, trashcans, etc.

Any place with a lot of cyclists is usually going to be urban, thus having a lot of traffic lights, meaning the cars can't go very fast, or at least they shouldn't be.

your "not an argument" is not an argument. car lanes are constantly used by both cars and buses, bike lanes are barely used at all, at least in my city.

And when you drive a bicycle, you'll never have a fatal fall. Unless you're a retarded untermensch, which you most definitely are, potatonigger.

>The reason I call you over-feminized is because you don't wear a helmet because you're too concerned of what others think of you if you did.
No, I don't wear a helmet because it's not necessary. At all. Nobody here wears helmets when they ride a fucking bicycle.

Right wing cycling squads when?

>You realize there's more potential for harm with them riding on the sidewalks, right?

higher potential but less severe harm.

Goddamn that would be awesome. I hate bike events because they always bring out the leftys.

>I ride my bike through the woods everyday, what kind of infrastructure do you need?

You need to be able to ride seperate from fast traffic. Any road over 20mph should really have a seperate facility for bikes, ideally physically seperated from faster (and harder..) traffic. Riding in the woods works, but isn't necessarily ideal for A to B transport.

As a rule of thumb, if cyclists wear helmets where you live, the infrastructure is shit.

>As a rule of thumb, if cyclists wear helmets where you live, the infrastructure is shit.

This.

Bike lanes matter.
