They must be because apparently none of the fucking laws apply to them. All you bicyclists who pass traffic on the inside, dart in and out of your lanes and just generally act like assholes, you all suck. If you want cars to respect you, show some fucking respect for the rules of the road. —How about a nice game of chess?

I’m not sure what your rules of the road are, but it is not illegal for a bicyclist to overtake a car from the inside – i.e between the car and the curb. It’s not safe when cars are moving, which is why cyclists should be advised to do so only when traffic is stopped at a light or stop sign. If you would like to make this act illegal, I advise you to send a brief note to your MLA. Good day!
“All you bicyclists”. Lol.
Sadly, It’s also not illegal to act like an asshole in most cases either.
Fuck off.
As The Captain understands it… It’s legal to pass vehicles on the right “if it is safe to do so”… so if it’s not safe to pass a vehicle, it’s illegal.
cage rage!
just relax and drive carefully, leave the cyclists alone.
A GAMBIT?
Ordinarily a bitcher’s signature has something to do with the content of the bitch but it’s not clear just what “How about a nice game of chess?” has to do with “Bikes are very special.” Could it be a ploy, a ruse or as they say in chess, a gambit? What opening do you favour- the conventional pawn to king-3 or do you go for something more unconventional? It’s your move. Write back soon.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
The ratio of shit cyclists to proper, law-abiding cyclists is more than likely the same as the ratio of shit motorists to proper, law-abiding motorists (official unofficial tally).
And there are a far sight more motorists. Make of that what you will.
Fuckin’ cars have been pulling this shit for a century. Fuckin’ pedestrians too!
I walk around the city every day and I also drive a car frequently. I do see a lot of jaywalking and, occasionally but not that often, some kamikaze cycling. However, nothing comes even close to the bad drivers I see every day. They are either distracted by something or someone in their vehicle or, more often, just in far too much of a hurry. It’s gotten to the point where I won’t walk across an intersection until the driver acknowledges me with a nod or wave. And when I’m driving it’s the other drivers that I find more frightening. Some take unbelievable risks just to make a light or to save a few seconds on their trip. Personally, I feel that due to the speed I’m travelling at and the damage my car can inflict the onus is on me to be extra careful to look for pedestrians and cyclists. So drivers, unless you are on the way to the hospital to perform emergency surgery, you’re not in that much of a hurry. Slow the hell down!
Bicycles and chess = a King’s gambit.
How shall we choose who is light, who is dark, and is the Queen left or right, of the King.
Life is determined by the choices you make.Choose wisely.
WTF!!!! Telemarketing now at the scroat. Are you sleeping at your post, mod.
Klyde – she’s much too busy making LTWWB a safe place for wimmin., Right Mod?
Unless it’s being used as a tool of empowerment in The Vagina Monologues, the dreaded “c-word” is hate speech. As outlined in the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Fymynysm.
“Prick”, of course, is a perfectly socially acceptable term of contempt because of ….”patriarchy”….. “intersectionality of oppression”… “white cis-male privilege” …herpa derp derp derp

A KING’S GAMBIT?
: Hove (24/10, 8:22PM)
“Bicycles and chess = a King’s gambit.”
Since there is no such thing as a “King’s gambit” – a gambit involves the sacrifice of a piece, usually only a lowly pawn, to achieve better board position – it is incoherent to speak of a “King’s gambit.” The King is the most important piece of all. When one’s King is in checkmate the game is lost. The consequence is that your equivalence between bicycles and chess on the one hand and a King’s gambit on the other is also incoherent. The choice of white or black is determined by a coin toss. The white Queen is to the left of the King, the black Queen to the right. Play chess much? Think much?

Cheerio!
My point was simple. The King itself is never part of a gambit. Your googling “King’s Gambit” – indicating as with so much else you lack any first-hand knowedge of chess – was merely to point this out. In your googled example the King’s pawn, not the King itself, was sacrificed to gain better board position. You must try to keep your mouth shut about “thigs” you know nothing about. Now, you must go away.
zugzwang!

I can’t help but notice the Mod has taken down your drunken verbal assaults from Saturday night.
May I ask what led to the outburst? We used to have a poster that would indulge in numerous bottles of wine and share her feelings with the board. Is this a path you could foresee yourself taking?

OB there’s a couple of laws they can’t ignore, like the law of gravity, or the physical laws of motion & never will they ever come out as the winner in a contest where they attempt to take their mass x speed & use it against …say a moving trucks mass x its speed…hell the truck can be parked !
So they can ignore the written/legalities all they want, it’ll catch up to them eventually ~;D
I agree with whatever Mod thinks is the best opinion on this subject.
“My point was simple. The King itself is never part of a gambit” Nope you said, “there is no such thing as a “King’s gambit””. What’s the matter, incapable of saying what you mean?
LouLou I know there’s a King’s gambit the same way that I know that you misquoted Shakespeare, and the same way that I know that Darwin was not the first European to be seen by the native peoples of the Galápagos Islands. The fact is that I have a passing familiarity with these (and many, many more) subjects.
As far as Chess is concerned my skill level is aptly described as mediocre, care for a game or three?
BY the way, why have you never mentioned that you taught Joe Biden, the Vice President of The United States, history? He must have been your top student.
“When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the princes of greed,” Biden told Couric. “He said, ‘Look, here’s what happened.'” – Joe Biden speaking about the role of the White House in a financial crisis.
