[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why cyclists are douches and they will just never admit to this. Yes, we have to "share the road". The reality is roads are built and designed for cars not bicycles. To be a cyclist and bitch about cars on the road is like moving to the country and complaining about the wildlife. It was there first.

Bicycles and cars are incompatible and for cyclists to claim any moral high ground is forgetting who and what the road is really built for in the first place. [/quote]

Every department of transportation in this region insists that roads are for both cars, trucks, buses, and bikes (limited access highways apart).  That is the law, and that is the political reality of  transportation in this region.

And no one I know bitches that cars are on the road (indeed, 90% of cyclists also drive). We only bitch when they do dangerous things.

BTW, just so you know, bicycles existed before internal combustion engines, and paving of roads was initially done at the instigation of cyclists.

You, however, appear to be a douche. [/quote]

And yet they aren't designed for bikes at all. Go figure. So yes, the road is insisted to be shared but stop acting like cyclists can do no wrong. In this thread alone we have cyclists admitting to breaking the rule of the road for no other reason than "local custom". WTF is that? Arrogance and douch-baggery, that is what it is. Blow through a four way stop and get pasted for all care. Split the lane in the city and get swiped by a car changing lanes for all I care, but you own the behavior that put your ass in traction.

It doesn't matter if you are right when the other thing is 4000lbs. I hope your attitude is of comfort to your family and their lawsuit when you are dead or crippled because you ride based on "local custom". I hope you kiss your family goodbye every time your righteous ass goes riding.
