[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Then, some say "we cyclists deal with pedestrians without complaint and just move to the road" while you drivers just bitch. Well, that's because you.... MOVE TO ANOTHER SPACE so you don't have to deal. We don't have that option. There's not a parallel road next to the current road. I would bet you millions that if you HAD to stay on the path amidst pedestrians and their dogs and children, and YOU had to stop or slow down or screetch to a halt every few minutes, you'd be bitching more than we drivers are. But, you move onto the road so you become the slower-moving more obnoxious vehicles on the road instead of the faster moving vehicles on the path. So, you can't take the high ground and say you don't complain. you say the road is the best option for cyclists? well, the road is the better option for cars. Sometimes, you have to sacrifice and not pick the "best" option for you just because it's the least annoying and go with an adequate option (bike path) for the greater good. Cars have no choice - they can't pick a mystery "secret" parallel road to avoid you. they have to ride on the road. You have a choice - if there's a bike path and it's a heavy traffic time - pick the bike path.[/quote]
Let me translate this for those of you who have neither the time nor desire to wade through an incoherent rant:

"I drive a car.  Bikes sometimes inconvenience me.  Therefore, bikes should stay off the road."

And cyclists are the self-centered ones.  Gottcha.  [/quote]

If you're going to translate, then translate right.  I never ONCE called you self centerd.   Better yet, I don't need a translater - especially one that decides to just inject her own opinion and not that of mine.  [/quote]
