Why can’t you get off your bike and walk it across the street if you feel you have to ride them on the sidewalks with pedestrians? Especially you parents who tow your kids in trailers behind your bikes.. Seriously, it’s bad enough when a lone person on a bike darts off the sidewalk onto a crosswalk, but that’s your kid you’re pulling into harms way. Basically, I don’t want to maim or kill you or your child. You’re breaking the law. Cars don’t stop on dimes. I don’t want your stupid decision, or your ignorance, to weigh on my mind for the rest of my life. You don’t see pedestrians walking in the middle of the street, or cars up on the sidewalk with pedestrians, why do you think your bicycles belong wherever you can put them? I hope the cops crack down on you but they won’t so smarten up or sooner or later you’ll get hit in a crosswalk. —Driver

Those fuckers crossing from the commons always grind my gears, and I’m driving an automatic!!!
On a positive note, I’m noticing lots of haltertopping and flowy skirting going on with the lady cyclists so boo-yah.
eww, an automatic
can I just ask… where the hell did stop on a dime come about anyways?
we know what it means, but it makes very little sense as to WHY it came about.
i did some research, not much info. to me it means good brakes but it has more to do with the thinness of the dime
This is kinda interesting:

It sort of makes sense but consider the source (Yahoo Answers) Believe at your own risk.
Aaaaaaaaand….
we’re officially derailed.
but really.. is stopping on a dime that much more difficult that stopping on a penny or nickle?
reminds me of the coin tossing in stallone’s f1 movie ‘driven’

Is that fuckin’ Geoff at it again?!
You choo-choo choose me. And it’s got a picture of a train.
Painy, I know, but the way I see it, its *only* a car and not a bike (which is actually worth having good ‘gears’ for. When I can ever afford a nice two-seater sports car I’ll get a manual.
Maybe even get some ‘speed holes’.
