“They could’ve made the case without the anti-white idiocy.

I hate cycling advocates”

Exactly.

I am a bicyclist and I hate a lot of the cycling advocates. They can’t seem to understand that you don’t win by making people hate you more.

I don’t flaunt laws, run over people or block traffic. I choose routes that don’t interfere with drivers. I almost never have an issue with drivers.

In the end, I want the same thing the automobile drivers want, mutual courtesy, respect and safety. I’ve said for years that bicycles used on roads should be subject to a yearly safety inspection just like a car. Road cyclist should also have to pass a signs and rules test like a moped, scooter or small motorcycle. Cyclist should be required to have a picture ID, just like a driver.

Things that make cycling safer also make driving safer. For example, a paved shoulder on roads benefits both drivers and cyclist. I don’t like “bike lanes” because people park in them and they tend to be poorly thought out.
