[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bikers are disgusting and the entitlement and lack of concern they show for others is truly staggering.[/quote]

Because?[/quote]

Because they block major thoroughfares knowing full well the vast number of people it will inconvenience and cause to be late.

Cyclists overall result in less congestion on thoroughfares. The small amount of riding that involves taking the lane on fast roads is dwarfed by the amount of bike commuting on trails, in bike lanes, on streets with low speed limits.  Much of the bike commuting that does occur on streets with higher speed limits happens at times when congestion means motor vehicles move so slowly, bikes can easily keep up - indeed one of the advantages of bike lanes is the ability to safely scoot around stopped traffic.

I have zero issue with bicyclists that sack to bike lanes and trails.  That's fine.  What becomes a problem is when you are commuting in lanes where the speed is higher than you, on your bike, can reach- inconveniencing drivers, especially at a crucial time like rush hour.  Have some awareness and empathy for those around you and don't bike down major thoroughfares.  [/quote]
