I’m a cyclist myself, and I agree with all of those criticisms.

Some bike-hating articles irritate me, but this guy is basically right across the board.

Nothing cogent or even real about his “list”. It’s all based on his perceptions. A jerk writing about “jerks”.

We’re starting to experience this now in Pittsburgh, as Millenial bikers are a key part of the weird coalition that elected Bill Peduto as Mayor. He is now closing down perfectly good (and busy) streets to placate their demand for bike lanes. Odd as perhaps no city save San Francisco has less hospitable terrain for bicycling.

Got my day glow spandex, my tiny tires and my aerodynamic helmet. I am a bad-ass! The modern day effeminate Hells Angel. And damn I'm fast! At speeds up to 20 mpg I will take on rush hour traffic, riding in the street with those lazy unenlightened cars. I don't need no stinking sidewalks and pedestrian crosswalks. Hell no! I will boldly go where no sane person can...in the left turn lane of a busy intersection, waiting for the green light,because I'm FASTBIKE GUY!

And if you mention to them that if they hit a pothole and end up under my car you ruined not only my life but my children’s life too, they get really indignant.

I wish I had said something years ago it I had known it would have made you stop talking to me!

LOL

Since I had both my knees replaced, I've stuck to the Air-Dyne stationary bike. If I was to fall off my regular bike and injure one of my knees, which is probable, I would need new surgery to repair it. Too big a risk.

I walk daily for about an hour but I have been thinking about getting a balloon tire Schwinn with riser handle bars and a big seat to make it easier to go riding and control getting on and off. We used to call them beach bikes. Give me a change of pace from the walking everyday. But then it would be harder to take my dog with me like I do on my walks.

This reminds me, I should clean up my old Trek 15 speed mountain bike and put it on CraigsList to sell. I'll never use it again.

I’d like to see a national bounty on bicycle thugs.

These aggressive bicyclist should take a vacation and chill out in Holland for a week or two. They can smoke all the hashish and marijuana they want and cyclists are everywhere. Holland has a long standing bicycle culture

[Uncle Miltie]

My bike is my horse. I commute on it. Incidentally it gives me exercise. But mainly it keeps me out of my $50 per day commute in my V8 Tundra.

The thing about militant bicyclists that annoys me is their hypocrisy. They angrily demand their rights against automobiles while refusing to recognize the rights of pedestrians.

Hell knows no fury like a militant bicyclist who has to share a path with families with children.

[who knows what evil?]

Here in soviet Red Hampshire, you can watch someone without a helmet on a motorcycle haul ass down our rural road at 60-70 mph, then watch a spandex-clad soyboy with a helmet on a bicycle drift by at 5-10 mph...go figure.

[minnesota_bound]

Anyone who wears spandex or Lycra is touched in the head.

Several years ago,Houston’s lib Mayor had a stripe painted down the right side of certain streets and designated it as a “ bike lane”.

Two cyclist were hit and killed on our street the first week. That white stripe didn’t protect them much.
