View Quote Depends on if they are following the rules. Out of bike lane (when there is one) = get buzzed. 2 next to each other and in roadway = get buzzed. Run red light = get buzzed. In bike lane and single file, I extend as much courtesy as possible and leave plenty of room. |

Roads are for motor vehicles only. If you want to ride your Huffy bike, the sidewalk is what you seek. Someone's going to tell me that it's against the law to ride on the sidewalk. No, the sidewalk is for your own safety. A vehicle and a bicycle do not mix well together. Stay in your lane which is a sidewalk and motor vehicle stay in their lane which is the street.
End of story. It's for our own safety. |

I don't purposely hit humans with my vehicle...even if I want to
I literally just view the spandex fags as the adult version of the suburban kids who never learned the hard lessons about riding their bikes in traffic. It's sad, but...the retarded are sorta sad folk. Maybe they're happier? Idk...but I'm not gonna run any over. I'm opposed to killing retards for the sake of being retarded. |

If someone is riding in the shoulder and doing their part to stay out of the lane of traffic I do what I can to stay wide away from them. It comes down to mutual courtesy and common sense. They have a right to use the road...and they also need to understand that if they are going to do that, they are taking some major risks...especially if there is no shoulder (which is a lot of the roads near me)
Now...when I encounter the egomaniacs who think they are in fact a car, and ride right down the center of the lane of traffic, and refuse to get out of the way for actual motor vehicles, this is frustrating as hell. At least a few times in recent years I've pulled up to a stop light with one of these Lance Armstrong wannabes staying right in the middle of the lane waiting for a green light....then refusing to move over when the light turns green. They just pedal forward, middle of the lane, as if they are a motor vehicle, expecting me to wait for a passing opportunity as if I am passing a slow car. If bicycle guys want to be respected, don't act like a douche nozzle. If there is a car or truck immediately behind you, get the fuck out of the way. Im honestly surprised more of these types don't get run over. I like riding my bike...its good exercise and its enjoyable. I also know that I max out at around 20 mph and it takes a bit to work up to that. I don't pretend to be an equal to a car on the road. If there are no motor vehicles around I ride where I want. When an actual car or truck is making its way toward me, I move and get as far out of the way as I can. |

We currently have a reprieve on road bicycle ass-holes. It is to hot for them to play in the street.

I move over because I don't want to sit on the side of the road for an hour talking to the cops.

This is why I mountain bike and stay FAR away from paved roads

Kids on their bikes?
I'll slow down (if prudent) and give them a wide berth. Lance armostrong wannabe? The amount of respect I'll give them is directly proportional to their behavior. |

Did 78 miles today..and it's 104...I don't disagree with some of the anger here as cyclists can and usually are their own worst enemy.

View Quote The kid could leave his “mark” if they were used. He could be known as the bloody dodger, or the running red tampmton. So much fun to be had when you recycle!! |

No cars on mtb trails and it’s a better workout. Road biking is for morons. I’ll ride on the road for brief periods but I’ll be way over on the shoulder and am ready to ride on the side if I have to. Plenty of nice neighborhood roads in the hills here too that have little or no traffic. And I’ve road biked too long distances and have no interest again unless I know it’s a route with plenty of shoulder room and light traffic.
My etiquette is to try and pass in the other lane and give them plenty of space. I don’t want to hit or antagonize anybody, life’s too short. |

Quoted: This is why I mountain bike and stay FAR away from paved roads View Quote Bingo! That being said, in a lot of places it's illegal to ride a bike on the sidewalk. I try and get out of those dumb asses way so I move over when I can safely. Some are good with the etiquette others are not. My wife rides with a group, they are smart about it and stay on roads with bike lanes. We have a lot of dedicated bike paths as well. |

Give them plenty of space and wait for a safe place to pass.
Yes, I am a cyclist. I also shoot guns and drive a pickup. |
