I can’t stand cyclists. If you can’t drive the speed limit, get the heck off the road.

As of today in the State of Texas bicyclists have the same right to the road as a motor vehicle. In fact just last week the legislature in Austin passed a law requiring cars to give cyclists at least three feet clearance when passing.

However, if you feel strongly about this issue you can come to Austin and lobby the legislature to ban bikes from Texas roads. Until then, give me my three feet clearance and do not make fun of my bike shorts.

You said it. These two-wheeled a$$holes try to prove a point about demanding respect from drivers by making left turns in busy intersections during rush hour, but God-forbid they actually stop at a stop sign.

“I can’t stand cyclists. If you can’t drive the speed limit, get the heck off the road.”

Thank Goodness! I thought I was the only one. Yeesh! They literally think they OWN the country roads all around where I live. That freakin’ “Iron Man” contest is held here and all summer long I’m dodging the obnoxious, latex-panted freaks on my way to and from work.

A guy up the road took a bike and sawed it in half, then stuck either end on one of his trees, so it looks like the bike is through the tree, LOL! He lives on a dangerous curve where they’re constantly causing traffic accidents.

They’re SO freakin’ obnoxious. It takes ALL of my self control not to throw open a car door when I pass them.
