We have Bike Lanes here...So, yes I do...

Same. Yet they still want to ride in the road. I don't understand it. I'd rather ride in the grass than in the middle of the road. Something about intuition has to kick in and you realize, "Wait, people die in car crashes every day... and they're in a meta; shell. I'm on a metal frame... I probably shouldn't do this."

I never said I owned the road and that he doesn't have a right to be on it bud. I said I get pretty pissed when I'm behind some **** on a bicycle and then am forced to creep going 5 mph waiting for an opportunity to go around.

what about that guy. He was probably pissed to have an angry ******* driver behind him.

IMO if bikes can be on the road so should lawn mowers,go carts, tractors, and everything else that isnt a registered vehicle...

technically bicycles are supposed to be registered its just one of those laws that city officials dont really enforce.

First of all, where are u interpreting all this rage u seem to think I have? You make it seem like I want to murder these cyclists and their entire familys.
If a cyclist were to ride on the sidewalk he would know exactly how us motor vehicle drivers feel... there being someone in the middle of the sidewalk (road) going atleast 10mph slower then them, and they would have to slow down and wait for an opening or veer off to one side and pass them and have to worry about hitting them. I am sure they would get frustrated.

The big deal isnt him riding his bike on the road..it is mainly him being in the MIDDLE when he could jsut as easily be on the shoulder..also going 10mph slower than every single car around him. I know you get pissed if a car infront of you was going slow as fawk, so a guy on a bike going jsut as slow wudnt piss you off?

to be honest im an extremely relaxed person. very little gets to me.

maybe i did misread and think you were raging. most people that make "i hate it when" threads on here they are usually raging retards. but it still doesnt bother me too much.

oh and i remember seeing that bike park on "amazing race" last season. they had to go through the entire thing and find a bike with the matching picture or something. it was pretty funny.
