“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.

Can't opine on the laws in your state...but in California cyclist OWN the road just as much as cars. If you have a problem with that (and you just might) take it up with your legislature.

Well, those cyclists have the same right to the road in Wisconsin as you do. And somehow do not think that the State of Wisconsin will outlaw bikes or will they turn away the millions of dollars brought to the state by the participants of Ironman Wisconsin.

Perhaps you could throw open your car door as you pass a cyclist and knock him to the ground but you would likely find yourself in the Wisconsin Pen with a murder conviction. Good Luck.

So DU is correct about the murderous impulses of FReepers?

Let me get this right -- you are exerting "self-control" over your tendency to throw open a car door from a moving car once you have passed a bicyclist and then slow down in order to cause him/her physical harm from his/her impact with the door?

Diana, you are one sick puppy.

I beg you: Never do this! If you do, and the prosecuting attorney finds this post, you are going to experience a stretch in the pokey not only for assault but likely premeditated assault.

And the DUmmies will have a field day.

Go rent the movie The Pink Panther with Steve Martin.

There are scenes in there you will find *very* therapeutic.

Cheers!
