LAW THREAD OF BIKES

On Monday, Swarth finished Stoehr’s cross-examination, with questions largely centered on details of his cycling clothing.

some straight known to be gang-related assos shit, bitches

crips wear rapha

According to Rodriguez, Thompson said, “I just live up the road. I was driving to go to work. The bikers were in front of me, three across. I honked my horn and yelled ‘ride single file.’ The bicyclists flipped me off and yelled back. I passed them up and stopped in front to teach them a lesson. I’m tired of them. I’ve lived here for years and they always ride like this.”

when the shoe is on a different wheel. but then, philly.

don't ride on the pavements.

cyclists on sidewalks make me apoplectic

nearly shoved a guy once (in my imagination, at least), i was so irritated

mpls, fwiw, actually suffers from over-courteous drivers....or drivers who have been sensitized to horrible cyclists, maybe. i can be rolling up to a four-way stop sign and the car that is ~already there~ will wait as i slowly travel half a block, and then wave me through. i was gonna stop, lady! it's ok!

The Annoying Samaritan: "Motorized human that cedes right of way to a cyclist when said right of way should not be ceded. The annoying Samaritan does not please the cyclist, who was fully prepared to wait his turn, but rather annoys other motorized humans who direct their ire at the cyclist."

^^^^^^^ hate this.

i know most SF cyclists are dicks/douches but this gets TIRESOME.

when this happens, i usually just give a tight smile and a curt wave, and go. otherwise it turns into a cold war of mn manners with ppl waving and dipping their heads, or the driver just gets back on the phone and mutters '...you try to be ~nice~' and shakes their damn head

really wish those proposed "stop signs are yield signs, and red lights are 2-ways" bike laws would actually make it into the books

^ this is the law in Idaho (where I ride somewhat frequently) and it's pretty great and makes a lot of sense. It's the only state in the country with this law, right?

I've never shoved anyone riding by me on the sidewalk but I have blatantly stopped walking and stood in the middle as bikers have approached me, forcing them to try to squeeze around me. Fucking heathens.

I occasionally position myself in such a way when walking to prevent red light jumpers. I'm a passive agressive douchebag.

oh cmon dont do that

shakin my damn head

waht an ahole

bomb vail

pretty astonishing, imo.

chances are good, however, that this will succeed in a civil court, i'd think? at least in a way that will allow dr milo to be loosed of the fetters of the thankless workaday world of anesthesiology in one of america's wealthiest towns

j/k, it's outrageous imo, but mostly to my principles.

Ed OTM.
