I'll start by saying that I have no problem with cyclists, but I think there needs to be greater enforcement of traffic rules for them. Helmet laws are rarely enforced, and when is the last time you've seen an officer pull over someone riding a bike on the sidewalk? Since the number of cyclists has increased substantially along with fuel costs and unemployment, there needs to be more strict rules and regulations by police, in my opinion. |

Too often, I'll see cyclists taking up a lot of room on the streets, and making it very awkward for drivers to be on the road with them. If someone actually threw one of these on my car, I would be pissed off. They claim it does no damage to the paint, but they are incorrect. If there is dirt on the back of the magnet, or on the vehicle, the magnet will cause little scratches. I would buy a bunch of cheap bike locks, follow the person who threw this at my car, and lock their bike up when they're not looking.
What would you do?
There's nothing worse than a bad cyclist.
ReplyDeleteIf I saw that guy the skunk on this head do this to my car I would allow it. That you can tell guy is a fucking bad ass. check the lean, check the handlebars. He aint no HO!
ReplyDeleteIf this is legal/ethical, then it's only a matter of time before These start showing up
ReplyDeleteCyclists always make me nervous. Especially when mother hen has 10 of her ducklings trailing off behind her all in their training wheels. They just need to learn how to ride within their boundaries, damnit!
ReplyDeletei hate the cyclists that stand up to pedal faster and sway tons, it's really really hard to predict their movements, oh and fucking lol'd at max's comment
ReplyDeleteI doubt cyclists or drivers would have these issues if there were more bike lanes.
ReplyDeleteI see tons of bicycle lanes springing up in Sydney, especially in the CBD - they have even closed off many roads to convert them into cycle ways
ReplyDelete^^ yeah it kind of pisses me off, like your supposed to share the road and all, but sometimes they are just as much assholes as the drivers.
ReplyDeleteWait, so are they gonna be holding these in one hand, always ready for a car to pass by? It's gonna pass them pretty fast...
ReplyDeletecyclists on the road are almost as annoying as slalom skiers in fucking resorts... GTFO MY WAY!
ReplyDeleteYet, that magnet stuff made me laugh real bad. I wonder if some people are really doing this!
If you throw a handful of ball bearings out the window at the road they bounce up with the force of a .45
ReplyDeleteI'm not recommending anyone do this I'm just saying that escalation can be a dangerous game.
I don't have much of a problem where I live, but in the larger cities cyclists have died, so...it is a problem for sure. I don't see this Yellow Card thing becoming all the rage though.
ReplyDeleteYeah, powdered tea is horrible. Gotta have the real thing. :)
The cyclists where I live drive safe because they have their own road for them. So I never see people have a problem with them :).
ReplyDeleteWhen Suciô is elected, cyclists will be the first against the wall.
ReplyDeleteinteresting post
ReplyDeleteWe don't have a lot of cyclists where I live. But I can see where they would piss drivers off in places where they are every where.
ReplyDeleteI love your idea to lock the person's bike up when they aren't looking. Little bastards think everyone should be especially careful around them, like the road revolves around their safety.
ReplyDeleteBREAKING NEWS: Riding a bike is DANGEROUS. If you are in a crash, there is nothing to protect you except a helmet. This is a big reason why most people don't commute on a bike.
If you want to commute on your bike, you need to accept the fact that it's a dangerous mode of transportation. You are taking that risk. Everyone else on the road shouldn't need to slow down and be careful around you just because you made a dangerous choice.
Cyclists you so crazy
ReplyDeleteCyclist make me nervous.
ReplyDeleteThats hilarious, as a casual cyclist myself I always try to be mindfull of them on the road
ReplyDeletetotally agree. that awkward feeling you get when you're driving near a cyclist.
ReplyDeleteI would love throwing magnets at cars.
ReplyDeleteI feel awkward when I'm on a bus and a cyclist gets too close to the bus, so I'd hate to think how it makes the drivers feel. It works both ways, though, I guess; I've seen plenty of bus drivers getting way too closeto the cycle lane as well.
ReplyDeleteI haven't expected that... :) nice!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of your "lock up their bikes" proposal.
ReplyDeleteneed more cyclist line
ReplyDeletei totaly agree with cooperlife. and with idea too, if it does no dmg to the car, we should get them as soon as possible!
