To the car that almost hit me a week ago in a four way stop, just because I’m on a bike does not give you an excuse to speed up and blast through a four way. Yeah, I’m not as quick as you, but I did my obligatory stop long before you did and was clearly signalling that I was turning left. If you didn’t slam on your breaks I would have died, no joke.
I see this shit happen way too often, and sadly it will take a handful of dead bikers for anyone to fucking take notice. —Bicycle Chick in the Four Way

No different than the arsehole on a bike this morning riding on the right side of traffic which were stopped for a light on Queen at SGR and the idiot blows through the red, turning left on SGR to Barrington.
Is that how you justify blowing by cyclists “Bro Tim”?
MPH, that’s how it ‘rolls’ around here. A bicyclists bitches about something someone in a car did (and sometimes pedestrians get in on this as well) and then someone from the Peanut Gallery pipes up about “something some cyclist did wrong some time…”. We could go one for one all day long but I think it’d be a waste of time, but there automobilists than cyclists so we would probably end up ‘winning’ eventually. I guess.
Oopsie. “there are MORE automobilists than cyclists” so we’d eventually win the ‘so and so did something wrong’ war of attrition.
*sigh* so one law abiding bike rider and two leotards
here we go again, with bike bitches.yes, we all know there are idiots out there. both drivers and bike riders. give us something fucking new, for a change will yas.
and by the way, i can’t wait til snow starts covering the streets, then the bikers will go into hibernation til spring, hopefully.
This cat will be riding right thru the shitty season….
I envy cyclists bec ause i hate my morning commute in my car. As crazy as i think cyclists are, i think they enjoy their commute.
Most days yes, but tomorrow I’m going to be wishing I was sitting in a car with the rest of you.
I just like getting to work in less time than it does in a car. When it’s super shitty out I think I’d rather be warm and dry, but those days are far outnumbered by the good days of bike ridin’
it’s otay not you, i won’t tell anyone who you are^^facebook is the devil
You know, even being a colossal ape, I think it’s obvious that this city could use some bike lanes. Even Skull Island has them, and we don’t even have humans! Did I go back in time when I came here? I’m starting to wonder.
I Heart Fanny Packs !! 😀
It took you a week to get around to bothering us with this? Perhaps you could’ve used that time to spell BRAKES and not use BREAKS.
As in, if the driver hadn’t slammed on the BRAKES he would have run into me which doesn’t BREAK my fucking heart.
whats the deal with the bicycles that have motors mounted on them? I thought they were ilegal, yet, there are a few of them around, and the cops don’t seem to be doing anything about them.
GV all the cops are at training seminars on how to deal with those pesky law breakers NEXT year when people ski, snowboard without helmets.

Yeah, I avoid 4 way stops. I don’t trust motorists to let me have my turn at them. I’d rather go through lighted intersections or intersections that aren’t 4-way stops.
my thighs are as red as a fire engine….

I like the cyclists that bike at night while wearing dark clothing. No one notices if they get hit.
When I was young, we used to drive around town in the back of a pickup truck with a straw broom with the goal of wacking people like sebastion. I am not proud of what I did, but I think I may have hit seb a few too many times. It certainly explains a few things about him.
