Radio host infuriates cyclists

I'm an avid cyclist myself, and it shocks me how reckless some cyclists are (running stops and reds, et al). They are eventually going to lose...

This whole thing is a bunch of BS. There are good and bad car drivers, truck drivers, bike riders, motorcyclists, pedestrians and joggers.

Jerks usually get what's coming to them. Everyone needs to take a deep breath and start to practice defensive driving, walking, jogging, biking etc and if it costs a few minutes, Oh well.

" Why should cyclists get the same priviledges without paying the price?"

Why should I suffer the inflation and economic hardship from all the money going out to buy oil keeping import/export balance of trade deficits in rosey red ink?

Oil addiction has dep denial to it, as you show here. We should have a twelve step program for folks like you. Get help, it's not too late to stop feeding dollars to Arabs making America weaker.

If there were less tootsieroll pops on the road - macho hard auto steel on the outside, soft swishy out of shape fatty on the inside behind the wheel - health care costs would be lower.

Get a clue - or at least buy a vowel - about the real trgedy of dollars and capital regarding cars and bikes.

Oh, well then I think you're lying.

Then you owe me either an apology, or satisfaction, because you have gone way too far.

I'm not the one claiming to intentionally hit other cars on the road. Get a life.

So, are you supporting Arianna and Dean?
After all, you just spouted their party line.

Oh, c'mon. Give him satisfaction!

Duel time. May I offer a suggestion in choice of weapons? How about water pistols at pointblank range, next July the fourth.

I never said I hit them, just a little bump.
Best stay in Minisooota where men will put up with anything bubba, cause in the South, giving the lie direct will still get ya killed.

Your command of semantics is amazing - good luck with your rationalizing.

[newgeezer]

didjuicythis?

It reminded me of this.

[bicycle thug]

To get away from the problem of 'dead minds driving' for a moment, I had an idiot with leather pants, no shirt with chain suspenders complete with tattoos and piercings scream at me when I turned the corner and passed him (he was on the sidewalk). He went from yell to run trying to grab me.

I had done nothing and didn't know him. At the yell I got out of the saddle and reflexively sprinted. I could feel the itch of the presence of his fingers reaching for my back as my classic Raleigh International and I pulled away.

He was in the envelope of trashing your average cyclist on a Schwinn Varsi-tank, (Heavy Chicago made Varsity model, the model-T of Schwinns) but not of someone in shape on a decent ride.

He trew a 'smiley' at me that whistled by my brain housing group. (Smiley - A mock wallet made up of weights used as a sap by punkers).

He was new to town, and suddenly found life in Eugene hard to deal with. When he got his rancid butt fleeing, he had police and some other formitable cyclists making life "fun" for him for his trouble.

I hadn't been the only cyclist he had used as a scapegoat for his frustrations, but I was the best one at marshalling action against him.

And I am very proud about it too.

HaHa, I can picture you now: I always laugh at those fatsos on rollerskates.

Are your comments on this thread indicative of why you were banned in the past?

I can see that your testicles have joined Lance Armstrongs in a jar of formalin. That's what cycle seats will do for ya.

Did I get banned for telling the truth?
Yes.
That is something you will never have to worry about.

it's the old people that are the worst

1000 in the morning: the streets fill with enormous cadillacs with no apparent driver creeping along from crossroad to intersection.
