Cyclists are pretty big assholes, every time I come across one they seem to be bigger dickheads than the last time. I ride a motorcycle, I passed spandex Dan blocking the middle of the road not that long ago, by using the fucking cyclists lane..
What pisses me off even more, we have these paved asphalt trails around here as well, literally the same asphalt used on the roadways, so no concrete sidewalk slabs... and yet they still choose to ride in the road. WHY.

Am a cyclist, bike many hours a week, don't wear Lycra (but yes have a fancy bike) and i hate 99% of cyclists. I get into fights with them regularly as I call em out every chance i get lol. Fuck em.

Non-shithead cyclists do exist! Though I'm on a fancy mountain bike instead of a road bike I do bike on the side of the road when going places. Saves on gas, gets me some cardio, and the dog loves it. I haven't seen many road cyclists here in the rural areas though.

It's like when people go for jogs on the side of highways when there are park paths literally adjacent in a nice wooded area. I think they just want to be seen working out. Almost like a form of voyeurism.
That being said it's a lot of fun to pass "spandex Dan" on an e-bike.

Nailed it. Same assholes who post a photo of their workout online.

A friend's dirtbike broke down in a trail so I parked my bike in the middle of the trail. Motorcycles.
As we are fixing my buddies bike...Spandex Goober shows up,
Mind you the trail is very narrow.
He manages to pass my brother and his buddy, their bikes, myself...but I had parked my bike on the trail and on the elft side there was a cliff and a tree on the other.
Motherfucker... He tried to squeeze himself between my motorcycle and the tree...but the tree kicked him the other way...
I saw him literally fly off of a cliff.
Of course I run to help him and it turned he was perfectly fine, But this is one of the wildest things I ve seen live and after I saw he was fine I couldnt help but laugh. He never saw me laugh but I was laughing for days

I had a guy hold onto the tailgate of my truck thinking I would just pull him along. I could not believe he had the nerve to do that without asking me. I pulled over and when he got off his bike I threw it down an embankment. I have hated road bikers ever since, they have really bad attitudes.

WHAT THE FUCK?@?!?@
PEOPLE DO THAT!??!!?
I would want to check-gate him so bad... you got patience

Yes. It's the cyclist version of "I'm actually a CrossFit vegan."

Road bikers are no better than motorcycle riders when they act like smug, attention-seeking fags. Not homosexuals, just fags.
[–] 0rion 0 points 11 points 11 points (+11|-0) ago
I love calling them faggots to their face. They have absolutely no clue how to react because they are so triggered by "hate speech". Definitely my most favorite insult.
[–] AnotherGrayman 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
Faggot is my favorite insult, as well. People don't know how to react.
I take it a step further when they act like they're upset and call them out on being theatrical because they're jealous of the attention blacks get when they act pissed over the word nigger, and now non-whites are just looking for the same excuse to be upset.

If you want to ride on the roads, you should carry liability insurance, and follow all traffic rules, including those related to obstructing the flow of traffic.
[–] GamerNerd [S] 3 points 0 points 3 points (+3|-3) ago
And speed limit.
[–] gimpyoldman 1 point 10 points 11 points (+11|-1) ago
Apparently they are required to stand on their pedals when being followed by cars to show off their packaged plums.
[–] ardvarcus 7 points -3 points 4 points (+4|-7) ago
We stand up to stretch our legs and rest our asses when we are able to coast down hill, dumbo.

Butthurt much?
Bicycle faggot confirmed.
[–] VoataoV 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
That's what happens when you ride a bike with standard height pedals designed for petite men. Get a floor length pedal like a cruiser so you can put your full leg force into the pedal without standing up.

Hate the guys who think they're Lance Armstrong. I can deal with them if they are in the city or on 35 mph streets. What I cannot wrap my mind around are the guys who get on country roads with blind curves and hills on them and expect people to watch out for them. That is fucking insane to me. They get killed every year and some poor bastard has to live with that trauma because they wanted to indulge in some power fantasy that they have a 'legal' right to be there.
[–] GamerNerd [S] 3 points 4 points 7 points (+7|-3) ago
It's the mentality they have which I do not like. Because they are essentially legally considered cars they can legally ride in the middle of the road. The thing is any decent human being should feel bad for inconveniencing everyone else by doing that and not do it.

Just remember, 4 wheels beats 2, and their kidney might save someone worthwhile.

Live in a rural area, so there's only one cyclist around here. He is in his 50's and mentally retarded but he wears neon and stays on the shoulder.
Now, when I go to the nearby "city" spandex cyclist piss me off when they blow through stop signs and streetlights. Then flip you off for honking at them.
[–] GamerNerd [S] 3 points 3 points 6 points (+6|-3) ago
They're just very selfish people willing to inconvenience everybody else as long as they get to ride there little bicycle to work. There's absolutely no reason they can't stay off to the side of the road and give people room to pass but they don't.
