There's no way this is an actual cyclist.  It's a driver who despises cyclists and is intentionally playing the worst stereotype out there to incite opinion against cyclists.  [/quote]

Yeah, I think so too. There's one particular bicyclist-hating poster who habitually posts bicyclist-hate on threads on DCUM, who insists that the law does not require bicyclists to stop at stop signs.

Now, in some places, it's true that the law does not require bicyclists to stop at stop signs. But the law in DC, Virginia, and Maryland does require bicyclists to stop at stop signs.[/quote]

DP (have posted in this thread before, but I’m not the poster being quoted)

I’m a cyclist who mostly hates other cyclists - especially your types. The sort of goodie-two shoes “I follow the laws that are applicable to bikes and practicable when it suits me”…. Blehhhh. You sound like Dudley Doowright and Sheldon Cooper’s lovechild.  :mrgreen:

I’m a libertine and an antagonistic personality.  I ride like a lunatic and an a-hole in traffic because I get a kick out of it. That’s the honest truth and I don’t care who knows it or who it pisses off. I run red lights in traffic. I blow stop signs. I deliberately buzz peds. I love shoaling at traffic lights and then catching a whole string of cars behind me. I’ve busted more car windows with my padlock than I have fingers and toes.   I like being a dick. On my bike is the only place I’m free to be a jerk to strangers simply because I can. It’s a valuable outlet for me, and I enjoy the hell out of it.

Yes, I’m definitely a cyclist. Would you like to know about my bikes? Would that vet me? What group-set on each bike I ride? Whether SRAM cranksets can work with Shimano derailleurs? How to properly bleed Tektro hydraulic brake lines? How to replace old Avid BB5 pads? What B-screw adjustment does? Why anything Campy sucks? Which disk system uses mineral oil based fluid and which uses DOT-4? Why 1x drivetrains are sweetness? Why only D-bags ride Cervalo? You convinced yet? Should I go on?

I’m definitely a cyclist. I definitely enjoy being an a-hole on my bike. And I definitely hate know-it-all’s like you guys.

I ride because I get to be an outlaw on my bike. And that’s the truth. [/quote]

If you're going for off-brand fiction you should get some pointers on writing style before you try to get published.  You and every other troll have great imaginations but lack what it takes to make it in the industry.  Keep working on it![/quote]

Still not convinced huh? I mean, I get it - your acknowledgment that I’m what I say I am gives a LOT of ammunition to people who hate anyone on a bike. So you have a lot vested in continuing to claim I’m not a rider. I think other people reading my earlier post that was all inside-baseball about wrenching on bikes know the truth though. And the truth is I’m a borderline sociopath who loves being on my bike because it’s the only place I can truly go/do/say/act whatever I want and stand a decent chance of getting away with it. And that’s why I love riding. The fact that I’m a blacksheep embarrassment to people like you is just a bonus.

Hmmmmmm… ask me something only an experienced rider would know? [/quote]

I don’t care if you’re an experienced rider.  You’re clearly a keyboard warrior.  There’s no way you’ve smashed car windows or anything like that.  You’re just an ordinary a-hole and no one cares.  Bye.[/quote]
