Quote HistoryQuoted: This is true. Many people also don’t realize that roads were first paved to accommodate bicycles. It was hard riding bikes on rutted up dirt roads. Cars came later and benefited from the infrastructure. We owe everything to bicyclists. EVERYTHING. I’m glad they let us drive on their freeways. Fuck bicyclists. They truly believe “Share The Road” is only aimed at automobile drivers. As a population, they are so self-important and self-centered that they are incapable of understanding what the word “share” means. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It's a race on sanctioned roads. You are making some dumbass comments and I'm just going to quote them for posterity. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Did you watch the video? She was barely intruding on to the track and likely didn't even realize it. This is the site that is all about personal responsibility -- what was the vehicle operator's responsibility to avoid the collision? What about the other vehicle operator's responsibility to operate their vehicles in a safe manor, leaving space to stop without colliding into the vehicle in front of them? It's a race on sanctioned roads. You are making some dumbass comments and I'm just going to quote them for posterity. Yup. Not a velodrome. Not an enclosed race course. A race through public roads with the distinct possibility that someone or something is going to do something stupid. And that's what this spectator did: something stupid. Not malicious. She didn't tackle a bike. She didn't jump into the middle of the course. She held out a sign a bit too far and our Spandex Hero thought it better to try and crash through than maneuver around. |

Beyond the initial possible charge, the woman could face further accusations if individual riders chose to complain about her, said the source. Cyclist complaining??? oh yeah she's gonna be jailed for life

But the writer of this article would like to have you think she was ducking down dark alleys and camping out in the woods evading the police. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Yes but these are highly focused and top level performing athletes! They can't be expected to adapt to road conditions! There was no place for him to go the way they were all bunched up. If he slowed down, crash. If he swerved, crash. His only hope was for dumb bitch to get out of his way. As someone else pointed out, he made no attempt to do anything other than to ride right through her sign and got wrecked in the process. His better hope would have been to brace for a mild impact rather than nonchalantly get smoked by a piece of cardboard and a bit of wrist. |

It's rather incredible the amount of angst and butthurt caused by one lady not paying attention to her surroundings and armed with a piece of cardboard.

That cyclist that went down first is a pussy. I would have smacked that fucking sign out of her hand and then upside her head before she knew what hit her. How do you run into a piece of cardboard and fold like a piece of paper. He saw it and hit it like she was holding a piece of concrete. WTF?

Quote HistoryQuoted: Looked like the impact however slight, hit his handle bar and yanked it to his right. Wouldn't take much to wreck someone that way. This, those guys are only a couple inches apart. Between back wheel of lead guy, and rear wheel of front guy; NASCARs fans would know of this as "drafting" , which can be huge at 100MPH, but in cycling is a sport where they might put out 4 HP at amsolute max during a sprint, most times it is conserving energy and saving for the sprint. THey draft because that allows them to save energy, they have teams that are based around drafting and swapping off who is in the lead. Armstrong(doper that he was) was HUGE because he didn't stick with his team, he led the pack consistently which got him a huge looking at im sure. Ive drafted off another cyclist on my road bike and you the wind resistance might drop down by 1/3 letting you exert almost minimal effort(say 30% of max power) to sustain yourself while they are at 80% max power and you are full on able to converse levels of effort they are panting. Triathelons PROHIBIT drafting because they are expressly endourance solo events NOT team sports while tour de france is a TEAM sport/event and encourages it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Do tell? What Is the cost on those things? @Kspeer He was exaggerating but not too far, but a complete tour de France level bike might be 10-15k; some riders might get super sponsored and get more expensive one off stuff(think a custom Glock being 2k =standard team rider, but a custom one off polymer p80 built by S&W for jerry michutek would be 5k-10k= flagship riders/team leaders) ; 99% of all competators would never even be able to tell, but at that level the extra customization might matter). BUT since it is likely 90% carbon fiber(gears, and a couple other pieces are metal, most other parts are carbon fiber) once you impact it once it might be compromised and you either get rid of it or you get it inspected professionally. There are actually rules on minimum weight of bike because they were getting too stupid light, it is a sport where they measure parts in grams. One of the most famous/susseccrful riders of all time Eddie Merkx was hit by a bus as a teen ager and had a broken hip that made him have a shorter stroke on one side when he pedaled so his bikes were all custom to the point that other riders would be unable to ride them. |

I hope she didn't sign off on taking the safety course training to get credits. I'm kinda pulling for her now since there's so much drama from the bike guys. Like it's not supposed to have inherent danger going fast and reacting with the environment. They failed to negotiate an obstacle... |
