Cyclists are people. People are cyclists. Sounds like you hate fun, though. |
Sounds pretty fun to me |
also a good way to test fate. road rage is a real thing. a cyclist friend confronted a driver over something they did wrong. the driver beat my friend into a coma. almost died. |
"Drivers are violent" is a flex... |
Ok, well don't complain when drivers are dicks to you too. Don't dish it out if you can't take it. |
What are you talking about? I don't like it when drivers are jerks when I'm driving. Or when I'm bicycling. Or when I'm walking. Or even when I'm just sitting somewhere. "Don't be a jerk when you drive" seems like a basic good principle. I'm sorry if you think the bike party people are out there to make you miserable, because they're not. They're not thinking about you at all. |
Blocking traffic at rush hour is not about being jerks to drivers? Isn't that the entire point? |
No. It's about riding bikes, making friends, and having fun. It's not about you. |
How is riding a bike being a dick? Please explain. (see this is the problem!) |
7:30 isn't rush hour. Riding a bike on a street isn't "blocking traffic" - and if you really feel this way, then you should sign the petition for bike lanes on Connectitcut Avenue because guess what, more people are going to be biking on it and people driving cars are just going to have to live with it. That is what the voters of Maryland and Ward 4 convinced the mayor to do. |
Because you're using the road and they think they should be the only ones to use the road at the infamous 7:30 rush hour. The threats of violence also show that they know drivers exhibit the bad behavior they've spent 30 pages projecting onto bikers. |
Well, it certainly sounds like you're going out of your way, even setting a time and date in advance, to be an *sshole to countless perfect strangers. |
DC Bike Party is about a group of people riding bikes - in this case, on Connecticut Ave, after 7:30 pm, on a weekday. If you think that's "being a jerk to countless perfect strangers", that's a you issue. |
I'm so confused? When groups have an event, they provide a time and date. I don't see the issue |
Are you really this obtuse? |
