I will
You should ride two abreast and never take up more than a single lane. And if you are riding in the lane opposite of traffic...well that's more a case of natural selection. What they did based on the video was unacceptable and any cyclist with even the least bit of etiquette knows that. We aren't all bad i promise.

Except when you can't ride 25 deep in a the designated trails as one poster has thoroughly pointed out recently. Then it's ok to break the traffic laws for the safety of riders above the general public
The silence on this thread makes it feel like we might have finally gotten our collective point across!
Sadly, I know that's not the case…

Cyclists are like the guy who does bicep curls in the squat rack, but in the real world.

Accurate.
Calling the people in that video cyclists is a low blow to actual cyclists. Looks like a bunch of losers in cargo shorts traveling around on bikes because they can't afford a car. They were just waiting for some poor dude to lose his patience.
If he exits the vehicle with an SBR shouldered, those poon bikers would have scattered like cockroaches.94chem said:
If that dude had physically resisted, there's a very good chance he would have lost his life.
Because they are bycicle riders and think rules of the road don't apply to them, but get all kinds of poon'd up when they put themselves in danger by not following basic traffic laws.chlavinka said:
There is a bike path there … wonder why they weren't on it. There is more to this story than meets the eye.
Not a lot different than motorcycle riders that split lanes and do all kinds of stuff and then cry about how us drivers of regular vehicles need to watch out for them becuase nothing they do is their fault.
And this right here is why bicycle riders ride in the middle of the road and do what they do - because of this mentality.sts7049 said:
the cyclists clearly should not have been taking up the whole roadway.
however that driver is also an ******* for trying to drive his way through the pack like that from that second video. he should not have tried to force his way through the crowd.
F them, they made their bed by impeding the flow of traffic on a public road, they shouldn't get all buttsore when somebody in a fuggin vehicle wants to get through or around them instead of following at 10 or 15mph being controlled by these d-canoes who are knowingly causing a problem.
Where do crossfitters come in, or did they not make it through the selection committee?94chem said:No doubt. Angry soon to be divorced little league dad was in my next batch. That's 17. To round out the field to 32, I'll add PETA protester, high school guidance counselor, Fish Camp counselor, school zone traffic cop, Germans, airport arrival line employee, high school boy who says "bro" every 2 seconds, coal roller (with or without truck nutz), tatted up person on welfare, middle school teacher who gets off on intellectually bullying 12 year olds, NOW/NARAL protester, guy over 25 who brings chips to potluck, i-phone snob, person explaining how boys should be allowed to run against my daughter, and finally, cat hoarder.Sea Speed said:

Mr Bike Lock Swanger has a warrant now. Ktrk flashed his fb profile on the news with his IG profile, oghtx.
Since his profile is open and was shown on tv I suppose it is fair game. Looks like he could be related to senator fetterman and smokes lots of weed.

The only way you know that dude had a chin is because he grew hair on it. I dont think I've ever seen such a shining example of a person that looks like a thumb.
You missed them in the first 4. Favorites to qualify for final 4 along with dance mom. Right now it's a 32 team bracket.

From the article and what's wrong with the world we live in now. Condemn unlawful behavior and we return to lawful behavior sooner than later.
If you want expanded and safe bike riding then condemn those that aren't doing it. WTF does "agnostic on street takeover rides" accomplish for cyclist awareness and safety?
It's not that hard. Grow a pair.

I'd love for them to bring back the "real men of genius" radio ads for a lot of these types in the bracket.
Today we salute Mr. Oakley wearing Little League Coach (mister Oakley wearing litttttlle leeeeague coach). You might be flirting with the line of obesity, and your wife is banging the guy down the street, but it's all good. You have that ice cold bud light in the dugout cooler.

Due to a number of programs recently moving up to Division 1, the field is being expanded to 48: DPS/DMV/SS window clerk, Assistant HS football coach who acts like he knows baseball, HOA violation neighborhood walker, 34 YO spring breaker in Daytona, man-splaining engineer, people who think Baylor is Baptist, Fortune 500 C-suiter who complains about tuition, waitstaff at Tapas restaurants, surgeons, prep school kid parent, entitled short-term renter, girl who expects guy to pay for everything, Al Gore, pro sports commissioner, Hollywood A-lister trying to educate me, and...drum roll...t.u. athletic director.

No different than democrats (which honestly, most are) - towing the company line is more important than anything else, much less logic and reason.Chewy said:

All that time on the bike seat pushed them back up inside.
**** that. I was in a similar situation once and almost just started driving. If I had been in my truck I might have. Was pretty scary to sit at a light and have bikes just start running it until I was surrounded and couldn't go anywhere.
I think rolling coal is dumb....but in a case like this, i'd make an exception and be a big proponent of it just because.
Got one of the tough guys
