Thurston noemail writes: What a load of crap that "study" is. Of course it is; it doesn't fit in with your world view. Why not stick to the basics. There are a lot of a-hole cyclists who cut through traffic, ignoring rules/laws except when it suits them. When I ride I stay on the side of the road and yield to cars at ALL times. I'm not sure what you mean by "cut through traffic". It sounds like you're complaining about cyclists using the traffic lane(s) when they can keep up with or surpass the prevailing speed of the rest of the traffic. It's entirely appropriate and lawful to do so. And in those circumstances, the only thing such a complaint is based on, is the fact that someone on a bike is making better headway than you in your car. Tough titty. You pinheads who think you're saving the world because you ride a bike to work are the epitomy of self absorbed scum bags. Get out of the way of people in cars. Idling behind you while you clog up traffic is causing more polution and wasting more energy than you save by riding your bike. I've never seen a cyclist or group of cyclists "clogging up traffic" to any great extent. I have seen lots of motor vehicles doing so, though. Get your toxin-spewing stinkbox out of the way of people on bikes. It's embarrasing to ride and be lumped together with pinheads like you. You should look elsewhere for your major source of embarrassment. -- -- Nothing is safe from me. Above address is just a spam midden. I'm really at: tkeats [curlicue] vcn [point] bc [point] ca |
