Get to the right of the lane assholes. And I dont mind joggers or walkers using the bike lane just make sure you're going the fucking right way! Traffic flows on the right assholes! Most cars are cool, pass me safely and all is well. Some cyclists are douches who think they are as fast as cars so can have the whole lane. Most joggers are dumbasses who jog going the wrong direction for the side they are on. If you're on the right you should flow with rightside traffic idiots! Or you should be fined I recently started biking, and I dislike the bicyclists who ride in the middle of the lane when they really cant do the speed limit or just barely.

It's a comfort thing... real bike shorts are thickly padded, wick moisture, and have carefully placed seams, which makes a HUGE difference in many ways, especially if you spend a lot of time on that saddle. The jersey I can take or leave, but it's cooler (temperature-wise) than wearing a T-shirt. Since I change clothes at each end of my commute, I might as well wear my spandex. Plus, I think we can all agree that those bright colours make you pretty visible, which is a nice safety feautre, not meant to be a red flag to the bull. I didn't start out wearing the spandex outfits... but the more I rode my bike, the fitter I became, the further and faster I could go, and the more I fell in love with it. Spend too many hours in a bike saddle, and spandex isn't a fashion statement, it becomes a medical necessity!

Now, folks who just go out for a nice bike ride to get some exercise or whatever is one thing (hey, I enjoy that too!), but these folks who wear their smug, bike-righteous attitudes on their nasty skin-tight spandex sleeves absolutely disgust me. That's another thing. Why the hell do all these people think they have to wear those ridiculous outfits just to go out for a ride on their bikes? If you are out for exercise first place, wouldn't wind-drag your friend anyway? Take that shit off you day-glow, polyester-wrapped douche-bag. Lance Armstrong or pro bike teams are one thing, sure, but the rest of you look like a fucking dumb-asses. In fact, you know what's funny? If I'm driving and I pass a normal person on a bike that's getting from point A to point B, and they are wearing normal clothes, that's great. Good for them for getting out and getting some exercise and being environmentally responsible and financially responsible. But when I see some moron in that god damn stupid spandex I lose all respect for them and find myself super-annoyed with their being on the road in the first place. Sure, they might be nice people, but fuck it. It's guilt by association, and I'm not even the slightest bit apologetic about it. Just like I wouldn't hang out with some stupid-ass clueless mother fucking dumb-ass who wears a fucking utilikilt (any dumbfuck who wears that shit should be sterilized, and NO, it's NOT a heritage thing, you self-tricked dumbass), I sure as fuck would not hang out with some stupid knob who wears that god damn moronic spandex bull shit bike outfit crap. And how about those Critical Mass dickheads? One second you get these very asshole bike riders preaching about how they have the same rights as everyone else on the road, and how they are just as valid than anyone else on the road, then the next thing you know they turn around and assemble as an uncontrollable mob to strong-arm the town and it's law-abiding residents, and assault what is the city's naturally evolved flow. Every last one of them should have their wallets ticketed into oblivion to pay for some bike path somewhere far, FAR away for them leave town to ride for the rest of their living days. Fuck "Critical Mass". Bikes aren't bad. People who go for a bike ride aren't bad. But *Bicyclists* and their fucked up, diluted, self-righteous attitudes can go fuck themselves.

It's not bicyclists, auto drivers or nutty military people who suck. It's simply that people are rather foolish in general and will inevitably do something wrong that pisses someone off. Look up anything using the "I hate ______" method and you will find MANY examples. Get real and let go of the cromag "us against them" mentality. By the way, "I hate cars" outnumbers "I hate cyclists" by a factor of nearly 18 to 1. And "I hate the military" outguns it (sorry) by nearly 35 to 1. Thank goodness you freaks are in the minority.

And as i drove by i yelled out my passenger window, "come on man". Well when i stoped at the next red light, he came up behind me yelling and talking smack, and preceeded to dare, yeah, dare, me to get out of my car, so i pulled into the next parking spot. And got out. Now I'm not some hot head looking for a fight, but hey he did dare me. So i got out and all 5'8" of him immediately peddled franticly, as my 6'5" frame squeezed out of my focus, in my fatigues (I am a US army soldier). Yeah thats right, just another liberal pussy. It's people like them, who think gasoline is evil, that also keep our military from doing what they need to, in order to win. I.E. pullin' punches so we don't look bad. And it's people like them, that have caused the deaths of so many of my brothers, who, whether or not you agree, are just trying to do good for this world, and protect you and everyone and everything you love. Yeah i know im on a rant, but G-Damn I hate cyclists. i had one of those super cool, spandex wearing, cyclists swerve in front of me this afternoon (thats why i looked up “i hate cyclists”).
