Why do motorist hate cyclist and why are some cyclist so G*d D@mned arrogant? |
I ride a bike as a commuter and it is not uncommon for motorist to throw things at me and edge me off the road (even the bike path [if you can call a white line and a foot to two feet of asphalt a bike lane]) On the flip side there are the spandex people who seem to think that traffic signals do not apply to them. I would understand it if they came to a stop and waited awhile then went through a red light (with very few exceptions lights do not change for cyclist) but they seem to act as if the light or stop sign does not apply to them. It is a small planet 7925 miles in diameter at the equator. less than 200 million sq.mi. TOTAL surface area INCLUDING the oceans. Less than 55 million sq. mi. 'dry' land including the Sahara and Antartica. If I can travel over 7000 miles in a little over 2 months by bike (that is coast to coast and back in America) that shows how small the planet is and how much distance can be covered on a bike. Bicycling is good for you and good for the planet I'm glad to see people riding bikes instead of wasting fuel. It's the people who rant and rave about how bikes should get all the same consideration that cars do and then don't follow traffic laws that piss me off. If you are going to insist on getting any respect from motorists, follow the freakin' traffic laws. If they don't then I just treat them like a dumb kid on a bike and try not to run them over. Too many times. move too Boulder CO. i never saw so meney bike lovers... life |
