Cyclists are by and large a-holes.

They tried to intimidate a car a while back. The car hit the brakes and they cyclists smacked into the car.

If the following vehicle were a car it would have been the follower who would have been cited. But the DRIVER was persecuted.

The worse for cyclists, the better for everyone else.

People who drive cars are by and large a-holes.

A car tried to pass a bike a while back to make a right hand turn. The cyclist who was strapped into his pedals couldn’t get enough momentum to free his feet, but the idiot behind the wheel kept squeezing him over to the curb. Both eventually stopped and the cyclist was able to brace against the side of the car.

If the idiot behind the wheel would have been paying attention she might have realized the cyclist’s speed prevented her from making a safe turn. So she made an unsafe turn that also incidentally violated California law on positioning for, and completing a turn.

And I know this is true because I was riding the bike.

While walking, I'll have cycletards pass routinely by my left shoulder within inches, unannounced and at speeds in the double digits. I've taken to hurling loud insults about the sexual proclivities of their mothers but they seem to be a gutless bunch of anorexic pussies.
