The Lounge

I hope your bikes melt down and your little helmets crack and and you lose a bike seat up your butt.

Do you ride on the bike path RIGHT NEXT TO THE STREET? HELL NO! You ride right in the street and hold up traffic.

Do you ride single file as traffic goes by? HELL NO! You ride in pairs while blocking traffic and we're all at your mercy driving at bicycle speed for miles on end.

Do you ride in a responsible manner? HELL NO! You cry that you have just as much right to the street as I do in my car yet you run EVERY SINGLE stop sign, turn without signaling and whatever illegal maneuvers you can think up while wearing a Doritos branded spandex team shirt.

I seriously hate cyclists so much.

Then the thread degenerated into a bunch of whining about bikes on the path bikes on the road taking the lane making left turns from the left turn lane all the way to what a cyclist wears.

 The whole thread was a place to vent about cyclists and how much they suck and are hated. There are about 50 pro-cyclists threads around CC. Go find one of those.

Have you fallen off your tricycle one too many times? Is this too hard of a concept to grasp or something? It's a thread venting about cyclists. Get over it.

 

 Have you been to Oklahoma recently?

I was just wondering if that was you.

No one is clicking your stupid link, least of all me.

That link wasn't intended for you

The link you posted to me and asked if it was me wasn't intended for me? I'm starting to see the issue here. You just aren't right

Then maybe you shouldn't have quoted my post and said it was about me if it wasn't intended for me? Your attempts at being clever are painful to watch.

I kinda feel sorry for you gmule :\

Obsessed with trying to win an argument with Spirochete is like trying to talk a brickwalk into falling over.

It might happen, one day, but it won't be you that did it. It'll be something natural, like gravity or a shift in the Earth. :\

Spiro I think you have the right to rant about whatever you want.

Haha this isn't as much of a problem in Southern CA where I live most of the year, but in Oregon where I am now it's a huge problem. (Not to mention that Oregonians like to drive 10 miles under the speed limit)

Then again I just don't like hippies in general. Not that all bike riders are hippies, but a lot of hippies are bike riders. And there are a lot of them in the Northwest :/

I saw some good cyclists go bad today! Usually the families are guaranteed good cyclists: obey stop signs, signal, say "on your left" on the path, etc.

Not this evil bunch!

Mom, dad and kid in one of those trailer things attached to mom. I'm guess mom thought it would be fun to ride her bike in a huge "S" formation since she did that all the way down the path.

She almost shoved me off the path with it, didn't even alert me they were coming up behind me. During summer I've taken to not wearing my headphones for this very reason: I want to hear the idiots coming. Luckily I heard them

As she's making her giant S path another cyclist tried to get by them. I didn't hear what was said between them, but he had to practically rip her off the bike to get her to move enough so he could get by her and her husband. The husband almost ran himself off the path trying to move because his big dumb wife was clueless.

edit: hehe nasuoni

Ok that's terrible. They didn't need to show that picture, either

Not cool.

Drunk drivers are a group we all can hate.

 Seems to me that this thread as just stooped below an acceptable level!

That's neither smart or funny.
