what are your thoughts on bicyclists?

cyclists should have absolute right of way in all situations on the road. any crash between a cyclist and a car should automatically be presumed to be the car drivers fault and they should have to pay

Just like car drivers, some good, some bad.

And most women who cycle or drive are bad.

Agreed. Like pedestrian laws. SHARE THE ROAD CAR FAGS IM CONSIDERATE YOU SHOULD BE CONSIDERATE

They seem to forget the vehicle I drive weighs 4000 lbs

they're usually smug cunts who should get the fuck off the road

like these two

They act like they own the road when they should stick to the sidewalks. Roads should be reserved for motor vehicles.

go to the fucking park if you want to bike. What I cant stand is the city made huge paths for these cunts so they would get off the road, and they still use the middle of the fucking road like a car.
If I end up in prison it's for killing you cunts.

Ah, don't ya just love those 'should' statements!

Ok, now that fantasy is overwith, here's reality:

- FACT: Cars will kill us cyclists, and they know it. They don't care because they don't have to care. if bicycles were as much of a threat to them as they are to us, things would be different. Things aren't.

FACT: All the bike lane paint on roads makes no difference to an auto driver who isn't Paying ATTENTION. Cell phones, music, and any number of distractions will keep their attention Off of us cyclists. Sad, but true.

>Cars will kill us cyclists, and they know it.
right so stay the fuck off the road.

They should be mowed down like the wild animals they are.

>pic related

repairing an $80.000 Shelby mustang that was in a hit and run with a bicyclist. that is the bicyclist hit the car and then took off.
like everything else, good and bad.

So why put yourself in constant danger when you can just use a path or sidewalk? You can take your self righteous bullshit and shove it.

Go suck a tit, roads are dangerous. Dont like it? Dont ride on them.

Fucking simple

Car and truck drivers should earn free boxes of Girl Scout cookies based on how many bicyclists they run over per week.

Well, I won't go that far. If I can use a path, I will, but every time I get harassed by a motherfucker like you (when I'm right) I'll just pull out my .22 LR pistol and fuck up your back window.
> I can disappear faster than you can find me

Use the fucking sidewalks and for fucks sake put on something LIGHT colored and reflective shit when youre fagging it up out there at 4-5am

trips of truth

Killing them should be mandatory

You completely miss the point

...

you won't do shit, nor have you ever done that shit

you're a pussy, and you know you'd go straight to jail for shooting a car that is moving away from you AKA not endangering your life

FFS, TIL cyclists are the new feminists.

GR8 B8 M8

Fucking faggot shitter.

Most cyclists that die in London are because they cut on the inside of either a bus or an HGV whilst turning left. The driver can't see you in the mirror when this happens SO WHY ARE YOU UNDERCUTTING THEM.

>Things that don't actually happen
Why do feel the need to lie?

>Use the fucking sidewalks

Fuck. I know. Whenever I bike, I always use a sidewalk, if one is available. And if there isn't one, I try to go to whatever side of the street either doesn't have a car coming or if both sides do, I get as far over as I can and get off the bike if I need to.

Despite what cyclists believe, roadways are NOT for cyclists. Maybe in some places, like Amsterdam, where bikes are huge part of regular travel. But in a place where bikes are nearly entirely for leisure, they come second to motor vehicles. If there are bike lanes, USE THEM, if there are not but there are side walks, USE THEM! I get this, and it pisses me off that others who enjoy biking do not.

I forgot, no one lies on the internet. My apologies. Plz don't shoot my car cyclist overlord.

Fuck off.

Why don't you ask the guy with the Shelby about that?
Since so many people completely missed my point, I'll make it clear:

--- If you have access to a bike path, use it.
-- Don't be a douchebag: Don't hog lanes, stay to the right as much as you can.
-- Drivers: Cyclists are there, it's a fact, deal with it. Pass only when possible, otherwise you will slow down, oh yes, you will.

Oi fackem, them troll roydas can buggah royt ta fack aff

I have to agree with this point.

Does the law say that cars have to share the road? Of course.

But as this user said there's a ton of distractions and a motor vehicle is simply 1000x more dangerous than any bicycle.

There are bikes and specialty bike trails around most major cities that give you freedom to ride your bike without danger of being run over by some inattentive driver in their Escalade.

You can argue all day who is supposed to share the road and who is supposed to yield to who, but it simply comes down to a giant fucking vehicle that an easily kill you and you're choosing whether or not to ride in a place where those huge fucking vehicles will be.

>Why don't you ask the guy with the Shelby about that?
So you'd just fuck shit up with the owner not around?

And you think you're NOT a gigantic, bleeding pussy?

1-800-COME-ON-NOW

This guy gets it.
The difference in speed puts bikes closer to pedestrians than motor-vehicles. Meaning bikes are less dangerous to pedestrians than cars are to bikes.

Do the smart thing bike fags, share the sidewalk.

Bunch of fucking faggots, should not be allowed on public roads

>I try to go to whatever side of the street either doesn't have a car coming

You are fucking retarded.

Shit varies per state in America, bjt the overall rule is that bikes are considered vehicles and have vehicle rights on the road and must follow traffic laws. They can ride the sidewalk but must yield to pedestrians. Any cyclists riding at night must have a headlight and taillight (I got pulled over for this).

Pedestrians don't have right of way on the road. If you're crossing on the red and you get hit, the driver isn't (and shouldn't be) at fault. Same for bikes; if you run a stop sign and get hit, you're at fault.

Their outfits are gay

I like to kick them over when they have their boots clipped in, then run like hell.

I guess there are a lot of Britfags in this thread. We carry firearms here in the US. Lots of us do.
As a matter of fact, I think some of you have heard the name of the town where I'm from: Ferguson, MO.
> Cops allow it if I have my ID card, now fuck off.

m8 I don't live in a city. I am not worried about a stray car coming out of nowhere from behind me. I live in suburbia. There isn't a huge amount of traffic. I can safely go to whatever side is not occupied.

This is, of course, when I am not on a trail. The trails tend to be much more fun anyway.

The story that never happened

As a biker I agree with these. I'm very defensive when I ride beacuse I know drivers won't look at for me.

i used to drive 20k miles a year until i moved to a city and sold my car and bought a bicycle

you have no idea how dangerous the sidewalks are

in most of the world bicycling on a sidewalk is actually a ticketable offense

That's what I've been saying myself, except this UK fucktards jumped my shit for no apparent reason.

Some annoying ones, some are fine. There is a guy who biked to work for 30 years, and recently got hit and killed by a car. More and more people in the >30 range are getting into biking for health benefits, and don't know what the fuck they are doing.

So deal with it, for the most part it is a 25 second moment of your life where some dumbass annoys you, which you will forget about by the end of the day.

How do you guys feel about clipping your toe nails? I spend more time every month doing that than giving fucks to bikers.

I never understood why bicyclists riding on the pavement is such a bad thing. If pedestrians aren't willing to be alert of their surroundings and share their space with someone who doesn't want to be hit by a car, then they shouldn't blame the cyclist for hitting them.

This, so much this. I'm a cyclist and I hate cyclist douchebags, but you don't see me give a fuck once they're out of my sight

Requesting webm of a bikefag on the highway and a line of cars driving at speed behind him.

So now you're discussing cyclist vs. pedestrian accidents? What the fuck? How rare is that?

They all seem to think they can ignore the rules of road despite being surrounded by vehicles that can kill them instantly.

Run them all over

Harvest their brains

Marinate them in urine

its not the cyclists fault.
its the Green Facists that want the cyclists to share the road with polish truck drivers

Close to where I live there's a busy main road that has a lot of traffic travelling at around 30mph 24/7. Running parallel to this road just on the other side of a wooden barrier fence is a well maintained cycle path. 90% of cyclists still choose to cycle on the road instead, many without a helmet.

As far as I'm concerned, it's their own damn fault if they get run over.

I hate them. They are like the OG SJWs

That isn't factual, only some ignore the rules of the road.
---- Some are arrogant douchebags.
---- Some follow the rules and get harassed by drivers even though they are right. That is a fact.

I've been riding on my isolated country backroads for a month now and have lost 25 pounds. I get off the road completely when the rare driver does come out of respect, it's their road, not mine. I carry a knife and pepper spray if I do have to deal with an asscunt driver or stray dog that cases me. I'm just trying to get healthy, please leave me alone.

Absolutely right

>SHARE THE ROAD CAR FAGS IM CONSIDERATE
As you ignore stop signs,blow through red lights, and cut out in front of on-coming traffic

If they can't reasonably stay up to the posted speed limit then they should get the fuck out the way.

Use a God damn light when riding at night not your fucking cell phone otherwise all is good

I am always considerate of bikers. If I encounter one I alert them to my presence. I get very close to them and hold down my horn for at least three full seconds so that they know that I am there. I then proceed to tap their rear tire with my front bumper to let them know my intention is to pass. Share the road, cagers.

Bike niggers need to have more space on footpaths for them, so they can fuck off the road. They obviously don't like the paths that have already been made for them, so if we make more, something will happen

They are not as fast as a car or motorcycle and nowhere near as resilient as someone in a car.
They are a pain in the ass.
Slow and too easy to hurt.

You forgot the middle finger it's the universal language of I'm passing you

I'm a motorist & a cyclist.

Bicyclists should *not* be required to stop at all stop signs.

1 - We are moving slowly enough to scan upcoming intersections for cross traffic. Unless there is an obstructed view, we know if it's safe to cross long before we approach the stop sign.

2 - When everybody (cars & bikes) stop at stop signs, everybody gets bunched up. This is dangerous for the bicyclists. EVERYBODY is safer when cars obey stop signs, and bikes blow through them.

Move to Encinitas, faggots. Then come and complain to me about bitch byciclysts.

We need a shit ton more cycle lanes

I hope you get t-boned by a fucking semi, you bike nigger

If they can't travel at the posted speed limit, GTFO. There is a windy and hilly 2 lane highway I drive on with a 55MPH speed limit. These Lance Armstrong wannabe cocksuckers ride in large groups going 20-30mph at best and backing up traffic.

Then you don't deserve the right of way if you don't have to follow traffic laws.

I'm cool with that.

And you guys can't be piss babies when one of you gets zapped for the greater good.

Got a short storie bout a bicyclist.
>>driving home from store
>>around 8pm so its getting dark
>>driving down small street with cars parked on it and only a few lights far apart
>>out of no where some dumb curly haired fuck comes out from behind a car into my lane
>>i had to stop my car while this fucken douchebag slowly rides across the street
>>recognize him as one of the dumb dick sucking druggy who lives by the store

Luckily i didnt his ass since he came out of no where. Idc for cyclist but when they act like that im only hoping they get hit by a fucken car
