Tired of these ******* lance armstrong wannabees thinking they own the road

[leoslayer1]

I have no problem with old ladies and children staying on sidewalks.

But cyclists who average 25mph are safer on the roads with cars going similar speeds. Lycra is necessary at this speed due to wind resistance.

You are an insufferable *******. Who cares if you have wind resistance it's just extra cardio gains.


Look at this park. Bond Park Cary NC. One of tons of parks including state parks you can ride in.

All the green lines are bike/walking paths. They all lead to the surrounding neighborhoods. You can just run a circuit full speed all day and cause zero issues.

If you aren't getting paid you belong on the sidewalk.

No extra maintenance riding on a sidewalk it's no different than a street.

You'll never get a ticket.

Stay in a neighborhood. It's the only place in town with a 25mph limit.

75% of roads are 45 to 70.

1. Bicycles traveling 8-10x more than walking speed dont need to be on a sidewalk
2. Most sidewalks are trash and poorly maintained and will fk the chit out of a bike. Try hitting a pot hole over and over in your car and see how well that works out.
3. Will get a ticket
4. Yes... every place i need to go is in a neighborhood... right
5. I've done 50+mph on some roads

It really must suck to have to momentarily navigate around a cyclist in your cage with leather seats, AC, big gulp, power steering, cell phone, bluetooth, and radio. Rough times for you.

[lolhey]

Show me a video of what you're talking about that apparently occurs on a daily basis.

There is also a common thing i see at intersections with cyclists where the cars will do this mexican standoff thing that just completely fks the flow of traffic.

Unfortunately I don't run a dash cam to capture these things. It happens all the time when the pedestrian light is shorter, and they'll either cross the road with 2 seconds left or just blow right through when it's already red.
Stops signs are another. I don't think I've ever met a bicyclist who stopped at the stop sign to let me(the one that got there first) go. Don't even get me started on the ones that cross the street diagonally lol.
They think they have the right of way no matter what because they are more at risk of being hit/closer to the speed of a pedestrian.

The Raleigh only Greenway is all you need.

112 miles
The Capital Area Greenway is a greenway trail system through the city of Raleigh, North Carolina. Started in 1974, it currently spans over 112 miles (161 km) and 3800 acres (12 km²) throughout much Wake County.


Plus all the parks and neighborhoods.


If you use your phucking bicycle for actual transportation and not just exercise then yes you are a pathetic *******.

You deserve to have people stop at lights and stomp your spokes out of the wheels.

[wagtail]

Why dont bikers just ride on the sidewalk literally nobody's out chits annoying af

Where I live, it's illegal to travel above 20km/hr per hour on the bike path. I usually cruise along at 26km/hr, so I ride on the road.

I don't give a fukk if someone kills me TBH. As long as someone takes care of my dogs.

[faxanadu]

50mph+ has to be downhill though...

I've hit a few 15-20 mile downhills ... epic stuff hah!

Highest speed ive hit was almost 60. Flat road about 35mph

[leoslayer1]

How do you get to the "green lines"?

You drive there in a car or pickup truck and take your bike off the rack and ride.

The buses have bike racks on front of them as well.

[DesiredUserphag]

HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Actually LOLed when this footage first came to light

[Tanerian]

You know what to do OP

[leoslayer1]

If you don't want to ride in the park.

One mile away is my children's neighborhood.

You could ride versions of this loop all day and never be on a main road.
Minimum sidewalk time.



The truth is you pieces of schit just want to be difficult. You're no different than the people spitting on food and doors and elevators during the pandemic.

You're the same class of people.

[leoslayer1]

Please tell me you didn't just recommend people taking the bus because you are impatient.



I'm guessing Morrisvile Parkway is 25mph speed limit?

No normal people would drive there in a car with their bike on the roof.

Bicycles are for exercise not real transportation.

[leoslayer1]

Please tell me you didn't just recommend people taking the bus because you are impatient.



I'm guessing Morrisvile Parkway and High House Road are both 25mph speed limit?

No but there's a giant sidewalk that typically has zero pedestrians.

[leoslayer1]

So why did you put the bus in there?



I think you can do this, I have faith in you...

Sidewalk.

Not sideride.

I am beginning to think you're like that lady who completely wiped me out, because she "forgot" the clearly marked bike lane was there.

Bike lanes are fine. I don't have an issue with it.

I have an issue with 65 *******s riding in a pack on a 70mph US Highway.

I have a problem with a ******* riding in the middle of the lane at rush hour on a main thoroughfare and backing everyone up.

I had to follow one of these whole lane phucks for miles.

We get to an intersection where I need to turn right on red.
He doesn't pull over to the curb sits at the light in the middle of the lane. I lightly tap my horn and use my signal thinking he'd move over. Nope.

So I start to go around him and he purposely moves up into the intersection to block me.

I roll down my window and say hey buddy I just want to turn right and that phuck screams whole lane.

I swear to God if I made enough money I would have gotten out and kicked his spokes till they bent.

[BootneckBrah]

In to lol @ ‘pro’ cyclists getting ‘car door’d’ and abused generally.

Buy a mountain bike and hit the trails where you’re not going to piss everyone off.

No problem with those who ride to the side and have consideration.

[leoslayer1]

I agree, every single one of those guys is a dick.

But saying what you have been saying in this thread, applying it generally, doesn't help anyone.

I am pretty sure bikes aren't allowed on roads with a speed limit in excess of 55mph.

Do you have an issue with bikers getting wiped out in the bike lane?

Every Saturday there's a pack just riding down US 64. 70mph zone.

[Aristotelian]

You know where you won't get rear ended?

On the phucking sidewalk.

Are you seriously suggesting that cyclists use the sidewalk???

In NYC it is bad enough that some motorized bicycle users (almost always delivery guys) use sidewalks to come barreling down the street. And worse, they run red lights at intersections often narrowly missing pedestrians crossing the street (at their green light).

I'm all for ticketing abuse but JFC the solution isn't to have cyclists use sidewalks to get around.

[PrestonCondra20]

I think Lance Armstrong crossed my mind I think...maybe once or twice in the past 10 years and that's it.

[BigRangs]

Just went out to grab some food, probably 15 min round trip, and this exact scenario played out to a T lmao. Lance Armstrong wannabe pretty much ignored the light that had just turned red while I was accelerating to go ahead. I had to brake not to kill that *******.

99% of the country isn't Manhattan. Sidewalks are empty in normal cities because normal people own phucking cars.

Bikes only belong in Central park in Manhattan.

[leoslayer1]

Ty to imagine what would happen if everyone who uses a bike for transportation in Manhattan suddenly took a car instead.

The problem is not the bikes, the problem is the asshats who ride them, and depending on your locality, they might be in the majority of people who ride bikes.

You don't need a bike in Manhattan.

Walk, subway, bus, taxi, uber, handsome cab,

No bikes.

If you're gonna ride a bike, stay the fuk off sidewalks and car lanes. These dumb fuks come riding on the sidewalk while I'm walking my dog and would drive right over her leash between us if I don't pull her away.

[BigRangs]

100% agree about sidewalks. Car lanes are where bikes belong, and that's according to law, so I don't quite get why people are upset about it. You learn about that when you get your driver's licence.

Because they ride slower than car traffic and impede on the car lane, so you basically have to go slow behind them or change lanes and go around.

[BigRangs]

I guess that is the end of the world right there. What about gramps doing 10 under the limit in his caddy, or the bus making regular stops? It would be foolish to say they don't belong on the road either.

Gramps is a fuking ******* too. The bus is a necessary evil and it contains 20+ people, not one guy in spandex that wants to slow down traffic.

wish we could run them over

[feck]

Came in expecting OP to be Australian but now I see that drivers hate cyclists in more than just this country lmao

Male cyclists in Aus are almost ALWAYS twinks.

[JT11RTR]

The most annoying thing is when you wait forever to pass these *******s then you get stuck at a red light, and they pass you on the right shoulder (which is illegal). Then you start all over having to pass the slow fuker again.

[scooterbrah]

i cant stop watching these.

The bicycle wrecks are so satisfying.
