Lets say that someone is riding their bike in the only lane that's possible to drive in(it's a one way lane) and they are holding up traffic. Is it considered a douche bag move to honk your horn at them? No. It's fucking stupid how cyclists are taking over the streets. If there is a one lane road and two perfectly good sidewalks in a long, straight street, why can't the bicycle go riding at 1 MPH on the sidewalk? Noooooooooooooooo they have to ride at 1 MPH on the main road, slowing everybody down, until his majesty raises his arm looking like a chicken with an itch and then turns right or left on a second's notice. Roads were paved for cars, not bicycles, deal with it. There is no reason they can't use a sidewalk. <cite>BJ-blazkowics posted [p:895026828] in Am I A Scu...

They just don't fit on roads, even when there are bike lanes. Like when you take a right turn and aren't required to stop first, there could be a bicyclist riding on the bike lane to your right that smacks into you, but you were too busy having to pay attention to pedestrians and other cars to notice. Just move bikes to the sidewalk. Problem solved. Or just learn to look right before making a right turn.

When a bicyclist chooses to get on the city streets (or six inches away from them), he is subject to EVERY law that drivers are. This happens too often where I live, and more often than not, the courts side with the motorist. Some cyclists treat the city streets like their personal playground. Never mind the car that I'm making go 10mph, I have every right to merge in the roundabout without looking! I think it should be a misdemeanor crime to ride your bike in certain weather conditions. --- Stand for the anthem or sit for the game! <cite>southcoast09 posted [p:895041641] in Am I A Scu...

Muffinz0rz 01/29/18 1:42:55 PM #39:	I didn't read the whole topic, but honking is not the answer. Bikers have a holier-than-thou mentality (especially if they have one of those skinny-wheel bikes and are covered in spandex) and they do not give a fuck about how much of the road they're taking. Because they know if they get hit, they get paid. It's a win-win for them. They pedal leisurely and own the road, or they get hit and the driver is at fault. Should the biker have made an attempt to get over? Absolutely. They should be as close to the curb as they can (assuming there is no bike lane). Do I hate it? Absolutely. But honking does also make you a scumbag, even if the biker is being a scumbag as well (especially if they are at least trying to make an honest effort to let traffic pass). --- Not removing this until Pat Benatar is in Super Smash Bros.

BJ-blazkowics posted... in the us? For real? Yes, but only a shitty cop would actually enforce it. that's really stupid. So are they supposed to bike on the streets, where cars drive?! So they are supposed to bike on the sidewalk at speeds of 10-20 MPH, where people and children walk? That's why there are dedicated lanes. And if there aren't, it's up to both the driver and cyclist to not be assholes and take each other into consideration. As a driver, if you see a bike, limit your speed. As a cyclist, try to stay to the side and if you hear a car behind you, move aside. Or you bike on biking trails and let cars use the streets mean for them. Streets are nice and flat and I'd love to play catch with my friends there, but I don't do that, there are parks for that A bicycle is a means of transportation, not just something people use for exercise or leisure. As such, that's a terrible analogy you tried to make. "Someone who drives a bike" is not synonymous to "asshole who rides in the middle of the road wearing bike shorts" Most times I see bikers in the street it's actually this. Oh, it's a thing for sure. I live in Europe where these assholes thrive due to popularity of Tour de France and such. But there's also a ton of people here that use bikes for everyday transportation and many of those are considerate enough. I get the frustration of wanting to get somewhere fast and not being able to pass a slow-moving bike. I've been on both sides of this situation hundreds of times. It all boils down to both parties being considerate and courteous of others using the road. Sadly there are a vast number of entitled pricks using the very same road as this topic shows. --- ... <cite>fusespliff posted [p:895042742] in Am I A Scu...
