20 something shirtless guy wearing a UofL hat on a kids dirt bike weaving in and out of traffic while smoking a cigarette. You cant make that crap up!
Go back to GYERO and make yourself useful by posting about a big green egg.False.
So since I drive about 25,000 miles per year you're saying that I own the road. Since I own the road then you should have no problem with me cycling on it when I damn well please.What does any of that have to do with who pays for them? My point is that bicycylist contribute nothing to roads. Automobiles pay for their existence and their maintenance. So yeah, they kind of do own them.
Christ, you're a miserable *****. I hope some environmentally hostile cage operator runs your *** down one of these days.Lovely morning, environmentally hostile cage operators.
This morning, I survived another 5.1 mile cycle commute through Austin's mean streets, largely due to my own vigilance. No swerving by you or your inattentive tribe into my bike lane was observed during the journey. And no red-light runners, unlike last week when sheer instinct prevented what could have been my potential demise.
Hopefully those mandatory Facebook postings or text messages you must send while operating your cage are not too distracting.
Until this afternoon. Have a safe, productive day!
*Yawn*. How evolved. Amazing how some within the GYERO crowd love throwing around insults. Class acts, they.Christ, you're a miserable *****. I hope some environmentally hostile cage operator runs your *** down one of these days.
My bike commute again was thankfully uneventful. No swerving by distracted motorists into the bike lane occurred this morning.
Ciao.
Guess who survived another day? Na na-na na na! Love it, doncha? Ha! I must give my resident fan club here credit. You guys and gals are devoted.Sorry to hear this.
I will pray harder tonight in hopes of better outcome tomorrow.
Nothing obnoxious when conveying the truth. If my subtle jabs raise awareness regarding road-sharing and manage to save one life, then mission accomplished.Always been courteous and mindful of cyclists considering I tried it myself once upon a time and a few of my close friends are active in it.
AustinTX, however, has made me reconsider my stance. Obnoxious People like you are 90% of the reason people hate cyclists, bub.
You are doing very poor job of representing your 'sport' and community.
Thanks, Chuck. Safe travels.Keep riding Austin and stay safe. I am going today to get a bike, but I'll just ride in the neighborhood and other off road venues.
Sorry to hear this.
I will pray harder tonight in hopes of better outcome tomorrow.
Yep, same here. I'm also a law-abiding cyclist, and fully subscribe to the notion of road-sharing as mandated by law.In very low traffic neighborhoods I yield at stop signs. I stop at all lights. If I get skipped at a red light or it won't change because the sensor doesn't pick up a cyclist then I will wait until it's safe to roll on.
I'm not going to defend the despicable actions of the motorist.Happy Hump Day, dear Paddock anti-cyclingzealotsmotorists! Hopefully your commute went well, and the 5-10 second delay you experienced behind some cyclist caused no ill-effects to your health. We wouldn't want you needlessly stressing out now, would we? My bike commute again was thankfully uneventful. No swerving by distracted motorists into the bike lane occurred this morning.
Speaking of blowing gaskets, along with potential road rage possibilities, please check out this report and video of a driver -- a medical doctor, of all people -- recently utilizing his vehicle as a weapon against peaceful, law-abiding cyclists on bike-friendly Sanibel Island, FL. Shocking, to say the least. What was the good doctor thinking?
At any rate, dear motorists, thank you for your generous contributions to climate change and have a nice, productive day.
Ciao.
From the report:I'm not going to defend the despicable actions of the motorist.
That being said, that video clearly shows an approximately 6' wide asphalt paved path perfect (and designed for) bike use. Why are cyclists insistent on making things more dangerous for everyone involved when there is an access in place specifically for their use?

I didn't watch the video, but I have one comment. Does he not realize the irony and poor logic of his comment? He thinks it is dangerous for him to share a path with slower moving bikers and walkers when he is riding at 20 mph and they can't keep pace, and yet he is in the same position when riding on a street with cars, and apparently thinks it is very safe. He apparently doesn't realize that by inference, from his own statement, cars traveling at a much greater speed than he is traveling, riding on the same path as him, would be dangerous.From the report:
"Michael Martin said most drivers that day shared the road with the bicyclists, which they are required to do by law. Michael Martin said the group was riding more than 20 mph and it would have been dangerous for them to ride on the island's shared path used by walkers, parents with strollers and slower bicyclists."
