40 year old men who ride bikes... in packs.

Wtf. I get that I already don't like you because I'm a runner and you're a biker. It's like the Sharks and the Jets. Like Snowboarders versus Skiers.

But what I don't get is why y'all dress like Lance f'in Armstrong wearing a tight onesie with 18 brand logos. Note to self: you're not sponsored by Gatorade and no one at Starbucks wants to see your banana hammock in that Richard Simmons unitard that you think looks cool on your dad bod. It doesn't. Also, why the need to exercise in packs. Are you a wolf?

There are a few considerate cyclists. But the lycra jersey wearing douches are generally mid life crisis old white dudes with rage issues but trying to feel youthful again.

Most of them are in awful shape though. Either skinny euro wankers or topsy turvy American dad bodded fatties. Do they even lift?

Dear OP, I truly love you! Also, you are witty and entertaining writer. Xoxo!

Careful, OP. The same could be said about runners.

Oh I'm sorry, PP. Do runners invade highways and other roads designed for cars breaking traffic laws on a whim. Also, runners rarely run in packs. Most runners take a more libertarian approach to exercise. Bikers are the communitarians of exercise junkies.

Runners don't run in packs? Have you ever been on the Mt Vernon or Capital Crescent trail during marathon season?? And some of them take themselves way too seriously.

And goes the wrong way on one way streets... and so much more.

I rarely drive, but the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and both drivers and pedestrians/runners agree - cyclists are complete aholes on paved trails as well.

Also, most runners don't wear 18 brand logos like they are sponsored. Nearly all cyclists wear those ridic unitards.

Drivers and cyclists manage to share the roads in most of the world. Why are people so hostile to cyclists in the U.S.?

To be fair, I bring down the average.

(And yes, cyclists take some odd chances. I was once on Maple Avenue at the W&OD crossing. The split second the light turned green (for the CARS to go), a cyclist zipped across all five lanes. If any one of the drivers hadn't seen him out of peripheral vision, I'd have seen a nasty accident.

I will never understand why they need to go full Tour de France in attire. You don't see people playing pick up basketball in NBA uniforms....

This is 100% my observation. More often than not, these guys will hog the road/not use the dedicated bike lane almost without fail. The height of entitlement.
