Run them all over! I hate them, there never careful, will pass on the right and ride on dangerous roads. For god sakes find a trail or a safe road. Die cyclist die

Good point kill the damn joggers/walker on those same dangerous roads too. WTF are they thinking jogging in the middle of the freaking lane around a hairpin turn. Darwin awards!

 

[QUOTE=s2000raj,Oct 8 2004, 01:13 PM] mav, why are you getting so mad?

It is true that most people don't give a shit about cyclists, but look at their point of view and help them understand yours.

 

 

Is there even such a thing as "bicyclist insurance"?? I guess it might be covered by the bicyclist on the odd chance they happened to have an umbrella policy. If a bicyclist ever hit your car and damaged it, you'd probably have to either file a civil case against the cyclist or your auto insurance would cover it, possibly under the comprehensive part of your policy.

The bicylist has every right to be on the road as your vehicle does. The bicyclist is expected to follow the same rules of the road as other powered vehicles. They are not obliged to yield the driving lane to vehicles behind them.

wow. such model for tolerance and understanding.

 

I usually just slow down to the same speed as the car infront of me and wait to see if they turn or if they flick on the turn signal. If so, then I just wait for them to turn and continue on my way, knowing that the car behind that one can see me for I am at their front right bumper.

This is a false statement. Cyclists are prone to violations as much as a motorist. It's just that cops find it ridiculous to give cyclists moving violations even though I've heard stories of it.

And as far as a license... it is required that we carry a license while on a bike on the road. Regardless of that, you should always carry identification with you at all times cause you never know when you might need it.

Wow... this is a mature remark right here. I think it's people like you that should be run over for thinking that way. So when you have kids (that's if you don't have them already), it's going to alright with you that someone will want to run them over while they're, let's say, crossing the street?

Come on now... be serious and realize what you just said.

I always have my license on me when I ride my bike, and I'm pretty aware that I don't stand much of a chance against a 4000 lb car so I make sure I do what I can to keep myself out of immediate danger.
