Personally, I'm a big fan of the superb dog handling skills. "SIT...SIT!"

I have a "cheap" one and it was still almost $1500. You bend a wheel or screw up the chainring or cassette on a nice one and $500 can be chump change.

I'm going to sit this out, because I don't have anything nice to say about either group.

Not to derail, but driver's licenses for bicycles?!?! You've got to me ******* kidding me right?
I'll settle for if it rolls on the road, has it's own striped lane on the road, and can/did crash into my vehicle and make me have an auto insurance claim, it NEEDS vehicle liability insurance. That's my compromise. OTHERWISE they're toys and just keep the toys in the yard or in the park. If it's a road vehicle it can hit me, and one in CSTX did, and made me have to keep the dings & scratches or file against my policy, making my rates go up. Bikes need their own insurance policies or to NOT share roads with vehicles that ARE required by law to carry insurance.
I'd rather let CSTX build bike parks and ban bikes from the roads altogether. City of CSTX sucks at nearly everything except building parks. They can build the heck out of some parks. Bike parks only or bike insurance, pick one. ID's, whatever. If they have ID's CSPD will watch them roll through stop signs daily like they do now and flip the blue lines on if I even look like I'm thinking about doing the same in a "real" vehicle. Bikes are a menace, except when used as the toys that they are in yards and parks.
The bike riders don't follow the rules and they don't carry insurance. They're a straight up menace but CSTX city council doesn't care. I swear the cyclists have naked pictures of every single council member the way CSTX council kisses cyclists butts.
Yep. Good thing all the people driving cars and trucks ALWAYS follow every rule while driving too. It would be chaos if they were not so darned responsible, right?aggie1819 said:Married an Aggie Lady said:I want them ALL OFF of the roads.

Yeah we better get pedestrians insurance policies for walking too.

How many cyclists have you seen pulled over for speeding, failure to yield, improper lane change, etc? There are are a lot more consequences for breaking the rules for those driving automobiles than there are for cyclists. Cyclists want equitable benefits of using public roadways but not equitable costs.txags92 said:Yep. Good thing all the people driving cars and trucks ALWAYS follow every rule while driving too.

Right. They routinely roll through stop signs because they are dodging distracted drivers, not because of the increased physical effort that following traffic laws would require.
I am torn on the bike thing. I have disdain for cyclists that ride down some of the most heavily trafficked streets and create dangerous situations for both drivers and themselves, or at best slow traffic unnecessarily. I don't think it's too much to ask to take your bike to roads or trails that aren't essential to travel by large numbers of people.Married an Aggie Lady said:FoxFire is just as close. Woodcreek and a couple of other little unnamed roads nearby are also options. Heck, Raintree connects to Emerald Forest and if you've lived in any of those long enough you've also walked that.skelso said:

I also have nothing but contempt for both groups.
Especially, CSTX cyclists. I had one drive as fast as a car coming the wrong way in a bike line at 30mph +/- end up on my hood while I was waiting to make a turn. They expected me to pay for their stupid bike. What part of wrong #$%^&*! direction at 30mph is unclear? Insurance for THEM to repaint my hood? Not required. I was on my own. KMA and keep your uninsured toys off the road.
And CSTX city council you suck the worst for congesting the city by taking so much road space away from insured/licensed and tax paying vehicular traffic for your stupid eco-hippie utopian socialist fantasies in 100 degree Texas that are only used by the person in this video and a couple of dozen more in ~100,000 person city.
