Bitch Back
in regards to the ‘BIKE GRIPE’ bitch printed Nov.3rd, i’d like to ‘bitch back’, i was that cyclist, i remember it clearly…I was approaching an intersection where i was going to be turning left so i was going from one side of the road, (the far right)

RIGHT ON!
Haha..you know, i respect cyclists and I cycle myself. Too many impatient for no good reason motorists out there i agree.. I know where you’re comming from but there are dumb ass cyclists too. Give er’
RIGHT ON!! cfm, i’m glad you feel that way, it makes me happy (smiling), thanksand thanks for caring about cyclists, we need better cyclist friendly infrastructure and more good folks like yourself to make travelling more enjoyable and safesee jerk who layed on the horn, (how fucking annoying and selfish is that by the way) and drove aggressively/dangerously past me then told me off, we can be friends, we can share the road ….and a doob too ….if your in
Excellent! 😀 I was nodding as I read the part about drivers gunning their engines to get past us so they can get to wherever it is they don’t see in front of them. Sheesh!My biggest pet peeve (if you don’t mind me adding to your letter!) is when I’m safely on the far right side of the road and going a decent clip; a car behind me decides he has to turn right at that very second, so they gun their engine and roar ahead of me to do a sharp turn right onto some side street before I cross that turn. What in the world is the rush that they can’t wait the two seconds it takes for me to pedal ahead and they can calmly (and minus the screeching tires) turn onto that side street?Anyway, great “bitch”. 🙂

a big Fuck You cyclists that cut out in front of cars and trucks and go through stop signs without actually STOPPING! if you don’t obey the rules of the road, STAY THE FUCK OFF THE ROADS you crunchy granola hippy fucks!
the reason we can go through stop signs without even stopping is because we’re riding small bikes not big heavy cars, we’re out there working our muscles to get around, not pressing gas pedals polluting the air with exhaust, cut us some slack jerkwhat is it about us being able to do this when you can’t, gealousy?it’s happening as i write this in many other countries all around the plant’crunchy granola hippy fucks!’, granola is healthy, and as i wrote to another hippy hating fool, ‘they call passive people hippies, that’s because their not in love mna, that’s what happening’, jimi hendrix said that and i’ll say this, hating is easy, understanding takes work, how is being a hippy bad?, please try to persude me, intelligent arguements only please, i don’t want to waste my time reading some more of the same old boring immature braindead bullshitoh, ps., FUCK YOU right back for your ignorant disgusting attitude, u r what’s wrong with this car crazy culture, ‘eat your bumper’, i spit on your bumper… after holding onto it getting a free ride for a few blocks, and you didn’t even notice, hehe, the jokes on u, eat my dust you idling planet-polluting piece of ….
thanks 4 the addition and support ‘Cyclin’ Student Commuter’, i hate that too,the right turn thing, especially buses, drivers who’ll go fast by you then pull over, i understand they need to make stops but how about a little patience and respect, fuck, they wouldn’t/couldn’t do that to a ‘motored’ vehicle, so why do they do it to cyclists?, i don’t understand, it really sucks
to pr:maybe the reason you’re blasting through stop signs (which is illegal, even on a bike) is that you’re too illiterate to read the sign. someone who can’t even spell “jealous” needs darwin to take him out on my bumper.and i didn’t know that a “plant” could have many countries… mostly leaves and stems and roots.btw, jimi hendrix is dead. maybe you support that drug culture. it all seems to go hand in hand with hippies. oh, and i will “persude” you into thinking hippies are bad because you are so left-wing, you’ve looped around to being extreme-right. if you want to be a communist, move the fuck out of Canada. Majority rules here, motherfucker. Cars are the majority, ergo, get the fuck off the road until you learn how to use it.
