[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's so annoying.  Then when you are finally able to pass them, they act as though they are so focused and start pedaling furiously.  You KNOW it's rush hour and you're inconveniencing people in cars going to work or other places.  Yet, you, in your specialness, you think, "Hey, it's 8:00/9:00, let me go get my bikey wikey and ride down one of the busiest streets I can find.  If you have time to ride at this hour, then obviously, you don't have to be at work at that hour like the rest of us do!  Just go another time.  [/quote]

Maybe they're commuting by bike to work. Do you have a better suggestion for where one should bike to get where they're going?  Maybe you should advocate with the city for separated bike lanes in your area.[/quote]

Aww, that's cute, you think they'd use them.  I can't tell you how many times I've driven through DC where there's a beautiful bike lane, a car lane, and a parking lane and a biker or two biking in car lane, happily letting people pass around him and nearly get into accidents.[/quote]

If you can't safely pass a bicyclist then maybe you should give up your drivers license.

There are many legitimate reasons to be out of the bike lane, including: passing slower bicyclists, cats parked in the bike lane (ahem), dangerous debris in the bike lane, and shifting left to make a left turn.

Also, i[b]t's a general lane, not a car lane[/b].  Car only Lanes are the highways. You don't see bikes on there.[/quote]

This is such a bs argument.  Roads were built for cars.  Before cars there were no roads.  No-one built roads for bikes.  You weirdo cyclists need to come back to reality and stop with the ridiculous arguments.  Roads are for cars, trucks, motorcycles and the like, all of which are capable of maintaining the proper speed and not interrupting the flow of traffic.  Bike paths and bike lanes are for bikes.  Sooner or later when folks wake up to the truth of this because more and more cyclists die on roads this will eventually become the law.  Its just a matter of time.  And, eventually cars won't use gas anymore, they will all use alternative fuels and that other ludicrous argument you cyclists use, that you are the future because cars pollute and contribute to global warming, yeah that argument, that one is going to become meaningless sooner than later too.[/quote]

So your saying that before cars there was no such thing as a road?  Are you a strong proponent of alternative facts?[/quote]

Not like the paved, lined, marked, roads of today with stop lights and signs etc... in this country, which were built for cars.  You are clearly being purposefully obtuse.  We are talking about the roads of today and they were built for cars.[/quote]

Roads are for everyone. Paving over them with public money doesn't give you the exclusive right to them. I think what you're looking for is a private road. Good luck with that.[/quote]
