Bikers are like the TWOTs that wander sidewalks pretending that they are important by scrolling their phones.

Idiot was keeping his eye on the green. He couldn’t imagine anyone else in “his” lane. The worst are the black kids riding at night with no lights on a dark bicycle with dark clothes on. Nothing to see until suddenly there is a bicycle crossing twelve feet in front of you.

Completely unrelated, but, what ever became of the incident where the police were using concealed snipers to kill motorcycle gangsters when a meeting they were watching between two gangs got violent.

As a bicyclist, I hate all bike infrastructure. I want to take a secondary road to avoid traffic every time. I want cars to treat me like another car whenever possible. Cars win the physics contest every time, so my safety is my business.

The only thing I ask of cars is that when you pass me quickly as you should, please give me 3 feet. Any closer, and my freak out factor is way too high.

Driving Safety Paradox

The idea that making driving safer can paradoxically lead to more dangerous behavior has been explored in research. A study found that safety measures can create a false sense of security, leading individuals to take more risks without realizing it.

This phenomenon suggests that as drivers feel safer due to improved technologies or regulations, they may engage in riskier behaviors, potentially offsetting the intended safety benefits.

False sense of security: Safety measures, such as advanced driver assistance systems, can make drivers feel more secure, leading them to be less cautious.
Increased risk-taking: When drivers believe they are protected by safety features, they may engage in behaviors like distracted driving or speeding, which can increase the likelihood of accidents.

I was grinding up a steep hill once, in the very wide shoulder, head down and concentrating on the grind, and ran right into the back of a parked school bus.

I was prolly only going about 10mph so no damage to me or the bike, or the bus...

I hate bicycles on the public roads but there's nothing I can do about it. Just like boom boxes in cars. Just like fat people.

Life goes on.

Honest question

Did the biker sue the cop? Seems like that happens here.

Bikes (and motorcycles) seem to be immune from all accountability.

Ha Ha! Typical biker snob. All he was thinking about was how good he looked in his skin tight spandex and how popular he was going to be at the next Pride parade.

What was the bike cyclist looking at ? These was a tow truck , a vehicle and the cop’s motorcycle with flashing lights going and this clown doesn’t see any of that ?

I'm a bike rider from 45-50 years ago. Cut-off jeans and a tank top are. Rode like human being. No running red lights or blocking traffic.

A few years ago on a 2 lane rural road in my pickup I came upon 3 women riding 3 abreast (no pun) which would have been ok except there was traffic oncoming so I had to wait since they wouldn't move over.

When traffic cleared I pulled up next to them and honked my sweet 18-wheeler type air horns.
I'm sure there were some stained panties going in the wash that night.
