yeah, that would be nice if cyclists weren't completely irresponsible. I've never seen one even brake when coming to a traffic light.
I'm all for road peace and i would be so happy to see bikers have a real spot on the road and cyclists too but come on..
Maybe they should have to get a sort of biking license for riding on main roads, cause I agree, the cyclists I see around all the time are dangerous as hell and I have to watch them the entire time to make sure they don't swerve in front of me or turn suddenly.
American cyclists sound pretty bad. In the Netherlands I haven't had any problems with them. Probably because we have way more seperate roads and lanes for bikes.
as long as you go the speed limit sure! otherwise i will honk at you until i lose my patience and then ram your stupid looking ass of the fucking road made specifically for cars and trucks. i am a motorcyclist and no one looks out for me when i ride so i amm not going to give sympathy for someone who has their own lane but just wants everyone to know that he's a bike rider and that makes him somehow better than everyone else for doing so.
p.s
rule of thumb: if something is big enough to kill you, get the fuck out of its way.
BTW i'm from Australia not some euro country where everyone walks and rides everywhere its just not practical here

Eh...it depends where you live in Australia. In Adelaide, biking everywhere works very well (there are new bike lanes in Adelaide too!)
In Melbourne or Sydney, maybe not so well. In tiny isolated desert towns, definitely not. But it's not okay to just ram someone off the road, because that's 1. completely stupid, and 2. against the law. Not all bike riders are just there to show off, in fact, most of them are riding bikes for exercise or because they can't afford fuel for a car or motorbike. Not every street has a bike lane.
i agree but i'm melbourne and outer suburbs and here we have losers in lycra taking up a whole lane in an 80 zone and honestly if you rode around with one of these ^^^ you would be hit with a car... if you're lucky maybe a truck if you aren't
i mean inner city and places with alot of bikes etc is fine but if you decide to use one of those things and not go the speed limit you are going to piss people off
He should also show how bikes cut through traffic, don't stop for lights or stop signs, ride side by side instead of single file....it seems the roads that were made for cars, those drivers have the least amount of rights on that road.
