I know where you're coming from, and I actually agree with you. There are many many cyclists who ride on the wrong side of the road, cross traffic in unpredictable ways, pull all the way up to every signal (forcing the drivers to pass them over and over and over) etc. Some of these people are riding bicycles for good reason; because society won't let them operate anything more dangerous.

I scrupulously observe every traffic rule when I'm riding, but it still scares the hell out of me when I encounter a driver who has some kind of vendetta against all cyclists because of these other idiots who don't know what they're doing. The fact remains that if you get in an accident with an SUV, you get a bent fender, and if you get in an accident on a bicycle, you end up crippled or dead.

None of the cars that almost killed me were sports cars, and I would guess that S2000 drivers are much better on average than the typical out-to-lunch SUV owner. Still, some of the attitudes expressed here like "running the bastard over" are scaring me. It's ok to dream about getting even with some guy who went berzerk on your mirror, but I hope you don't feel that way about ALL cyclists!

Sunchild-

"California sucks, China sucks." You got it wrong. You suck!

 

Okay. Now I see why two sets of triple air horns can come in handy. You could sneak up behind him and rip his ear drums to shreds By the way, this is Rubber Ducky's car, not mine.

 

Damn I can't imagine how pissed I would be if that happened to me. As for Sunchild's comments, I thought they were pretty damn funny.

 

Josh,

2 things to carry.

1) A small plastic stick maybe 6inches or so. Why? So you can sneak up next to him while he's riding and jam it into the front wheel spokes. Watch the bicyclist "fly like an eagle."

2) Small box of tacks. Office Depot & company sell a box of them for .50. Excellent revenge tool. Can you say FLAT tires?

those people are Gaylord Fockers!

Just some thoughts...

 

Don't you just hate 'righteous' citizens. Policing everybody else to make sure they live up to 'their' ideals of what a perfect citizen should be. This kind of person makes me puke.

 

he hit you while dialing 911?
i wouldve got out the car grabbed the tire iron and went after him and and warped some bike tires

 

Not acceptable here, sorry.

 

You might wanna reconsider the gravity of what you just said.
