And cyclists wonder why they get abused.

Hahaha wow really? why is everyone talking about ‘them’ as if they are an alien race? Like most people I have a car and i also ride a bicycle.
however what i do when im on my bike is ride on the paths and cycle ways NOT the road. Im sure avid cyclists are motorists too which is why i think this argument is stupid.

One abreast is dangerous let alone two! I will be forced to run you flat with my bullbar if you get in the way.

I cycle slow when they cant overtake I ear them coming fast.
I skip lights.
I cut infront of them.
I spit on cars parked like shit.
I insult them loundly when not driving properly and so on.

Thast NOTHING compared to breathing their poison.

These aren’t funny or clever. They’re just dangerous and often violate traffic laws. When cycling on roads you share with motorists, you have every right to act like a car. But it’s no time to dick around either, especially since in a car vs. cyclist collision, the cyclist looses. Like blowing red lights: not only is this illegal since traffic laws (at least in my state) dictate you must wait for the light (even in crosswalks) along with the rest of traffic, but you could easily get killed by traffic coming perpendicular to your direction of travel (i.e. red light for you means a green light for someone else). I’m sure the guy who eventually runs you over with his car will be really annoyed by your clever antics; you’ll show him!

“breathing” does it for me.
the longer I stay alive and upright, the more pissed-off the car drivers will be.

One of the most annoying things you can do is persist in bleeding on their hood, after they tried to cut you off and scraped their car past you, or merely passed you too close.

When you catch up to them at the light just lie down on their hood, “just for a minute”. Don’t get up until the light has gone red again. THEN walk your bike across and ride away.

Just spotted this after a search turned up your list of 50 Bike blogs. (I had seen the list before, but was then reading most of the top ones, now I need more blogs to read.)

i know i know, drivers are mean/stupid sometime. but This stuff is really dumb. #1 you have to do and should when it is not safe to be over to the right. #2 is actually funny, LOL. #3 not a big deal, #4 will get you killed eventually, have fun with that one. #5 – watch out for the doors. # 5 ok I get that one. i just want to get where i’m going safely, i don’t think we need to be out there trying to piss people off, no matter what we are driving.

I just don’t understand this…..
As BOTH a driver AND a cyclist I have to shake my head and wonder why either side always seems to want to annoy the other?
I am a driver of vehicles, short and sweet. That means I follow the rules regardless, respect the other driver/rider, and operate my vehicle responsibly and defensively.
No one owns the road, we all SHARE
