Dear cyclists of HRM,
Unless your two-wheeled-shit-mobiles can reach the required speed limit of cars, STAY THE FUCK OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I can promise you this, I don’t care how “environmentally friendly” your ride is, and next time my 3000-pound-awesome-mobile is stuck behind it I’m going to follow your flaky ass home and poke holes in your tires.

Sorry there dickwad,..i can’t do that. I have to follow the traffic laws which say that i can and should bike in the middle of the road if i need to.
I also dare you to follow me home sometime. Make sure you run me over and kill me before we get to my house because once we stop and you pull your fat gut out of your vehicle, i will proceed to rip your head off.
But i’m sure you’re one of those people who are “tough” while in a car but little sissies when confronted by real people. You’re all the same,..so keep whining here because this is the only outlet you’ll get. We all know you’re all talk and no action, people like you are a dime a dozen. You like to threaten people but you’re too much of a pussy to follow through.
But i do thank you for starting another bike bitch. It’s always funny listening to little wankers like yourself trying to incite an argument.
bikeman – traffic laws don’t say to drive in the middle of the road, they clearly state to stay as far right as possible, with the exception of making a left turn. This goes for all road users.
Which, on a Halifax street with potholes and parking, usually means the middle of the road is as far right as safely possible.
Cyclists don’t dare stay to the far right, they’ll get doored for sure. Drivers rarely check their mirror or over their shoulder before flinging their door wide open.
I think the OP should have to get on a bike with 1 inch (or less, in most cases) wide tires with all the potholes and cracks around here, in rush hour traffic (with dickwads like themselves driving), and see where he/she feels safe riding. Sorry about your luck, asshole, most of the time, that’s where we HAVE to ride. As a rider AND driver (more driving than riding, because of dicks like you) yes, it can be annoying to be right behind a biker and not be able to pass, but for fucks sakes, what is it, like 2 minutes, tops?? If you have to be somewhere THAT fast, get your lazy ass out of bed a little earlier. You can usually make up that time AFTER you get to pass them (in your case, most likely by speeding and swerving around traffic with no blinkers, no doubt).
Sorry dude, but every morning for certain stretches when I’m travelling between 30 and 50 I will be in the centre of the road. Go ahead. Fuck with me. Just don’t ever get pulled over for so much as rolling through a stop sign because when the cop runs your plate there will be a complaint against it.
BTW, someone above paraphrased the “ride/drive to the right” rule. Don’t take my word for it. Look it up.
At least cyclists aren’t belching out fumes like your four-wheeled egomobile. The road is meant for cars and bikes, so suck it up, Piston Head.
Here y’ go. This should be fun watching people microscope this http://www.gov.ns.ca/snsmr/rmv/handbook/DH…
fuck bicycles…i could care less if you hit potholes. suck it up, buy a car and leave your stupid fucking bikes in the shed. good job op, finally someone that writes a valid bitch
“3000-pound-awesome-mobile” AWESOME
But i can see your point cyclists need to make up their mind the road? or side walks?
O great..another fucking bike bitch.
Dubious, why not go back, you will notice about every second bitch is about some self entitled prick talking about his 3000lb car. It’s getting tiresome fast.
Can’t we just share the road? I don’t mind going slower to wait until I can safely pass a biker, since it only puts me back like 20-30 seconds usually. Not a big deal, in my opinion.
I actually think it is a little scary that someone would get that bent out of shape over something so silly. Also, OP, what entitles you to have this “Get The Fuck Out Of My Way” attitude? You’re just another human, no more or less special than the rest of us.
thank you I probably need a coffee.
Dear cyclists,
Please stop riding on the sidewalk.
Sincerely,
Pretty Kitty
>>suck it up, buy a car and leave your stupid fucking bikes in the shed.
Baaaaaa,..you sound like a sheep. Baaaa,..must buy a car because ‘everyone’ else has one. Baaa. Can’t have independent thoughts. Baaaa. Brain is the size of a walnut,..baaaaa.
Well i tell ya there dimwit, i’d buy a car but i don’t need one. Had various cars in the 25 years since i got my license but now i just don’t need one,..plain and simple,..i live and work close together so why should i spend $5000 a year owning and maintaining a car? I leave that to the morons like yourself who are too stupid to realize how much money they’re spending on their car each year. Figure i’d saved over 15 grand now in the past few years and it’s awesome. Not that i need the money but i figure why spend it if i dont’ need to. Leaves more money for things in life i really want and enjoy.
So you can continue being a sheep all you want. Part of me feels sorry for you but the other half of me just laughs at how stupid you are.
Baaaaaa,..have a good day little sheep boy.
I own a car but my bike gets me to work faster and cheaper.
pencil dick
Have you ever heard of SHARING the road??? Give it a try sometime!!
bikeman- as much as I do not agree with the OP you are simply an asshole, plain and simple (and yes I am a biker). I also own a car because, strangely, it is tough to call on clients in a dress suit and tie while riding a bike and carring a laptop and briefcase.
But really bikeman..you need anger management buddy. Bike on over to your physician’s office and ask for prozac, double strength.
The only thing worse than assholes in cars are ‘holier-than-thou cyclists with eco-hardons.
“Sharing’ seems to be as obsolete a word as ‘spats’ these days.
Funny how few bike vs pedestrian bitches there are compared to car vs everything bitches. I wonder where most of the problems lie…
hmm PAS I’m not to sure.
hey bobby33
hahahahahaa,..give it a break dipshit.
Good for you,..you own a car because you need one. Would you like a trophy or something?
No one is saying NOT to own a car if you need actually one. I was referring to the quite common attitude these days that everyone is expected to own a car even if they don’t actually need one. So you’ve set your life up in a way that requires you to own a car. That’s too bad but that’s the way it is for you, so suck it up and accept it buttercup. You just shouldn’t expect everyone else to own one if they don’t have a need. Plain and simple.
As far as anger managment goes,..last time i looked this is the bitch section which means people say things to get other people worked up. And i love getting people like you worked up and excited. In fact, when wankers like yourself call me an asshole, i know i’ve succeeded. If i wanted a productive discussion, i sure as hell wouldn’t be posting here now would i? I’m here for enjoyment and you’ve made my day,..thanks pencildick. 🙂 I’m sure you’re going to stew over this all day. hahaha. I await your next inspired response if your pea sized brain has any thoughts left in it.
As for prozac,..i tend to use the natural way of releasing pleasure endorphins via biking to work everyday. Works better and is much cheaper.
But about car ownership, we all make choices in our lives regarding our career and home locations. Some of us choose these in a way that requires a car to accomplish them,..like yourself for instance. I made choices in my life to set myself up in a way so that i don’t need to rely on a car. Obvisously not everyone can do that but many more could if they’d decide not to be sheep. Personally i think a lot of people feel the need to own a car (when they don’t actually need one) because it’s typically associated with “being successful” in North American life. Interesting society we have.
Anyway, this was fun. And i say again,..baaaa,..baaaa little sheep people. 🙂 Or would “lemmings” fit better? 🙂
Oh gawd, please don’t start calling them “sheeple”.
hey bikeman…your a cocksucker aaaaaaaaaahhhhh how is that sheep noise for you bitch. Enjoy the winter time jackass…hope ur nuts dont get stuck to your seat….if you can even find em.
Pretty good bet that the OP with the “3000-pound-awesome-mobile”, considering his or her expressed hostility at speed restrictions, is also a considerable hazard to other automobile drivers – tailgating, passing dangerously, running reds.
I’m not sure I understand how this cock could possibly follow through on their threat – they’d have to follow a bicyclist home at like 15-20 klicks per hour. I just can’t see the old Stress-O-Meter not pegging out with disastrous consequences. Not to mention, some other car driver who now has reason to be genuinely pissed at the OP would likely end up introducing him or her to the real rules of the road…
biker- no problems tough guy. I fully appreciate the fact that idiots like you need to post in forums like this because in REAL life you do not have the balls to confront anyone. Therefore this gives you an outlet. I get it. That is what is great about the ‘net. It allows you to instantly grow testacles.
Darn right it’s an outlet! What are you here for? Warm and fuzzies? Serious discussion? It’s the ‘bitch’ section for christ sake,..where we get to try out new fun swear-type words and people like you start to cry when called ‘dipshits’.
I’m quite disappointed in your comeback though. So uninspired for the bitch section. Your whole ‘no balls/grow testicles’ comment has been done to death by many others.
Are we different in real life,..of fucking course we you moron. In real life we have to interact on a personal level and get along. If we all treated each other in real life like we do in this bitch section then we wouldn’t have much of a society now would we? That being said, i have no problem confronting people in real life, if i have to. But what’s better, two people getting in a physical fight or just shooting off to each other in a bitch forum. You need to wipe your tears away and remember where you’re posting little boy. If you can’t take the bitch section then maybe you should find another forum where people will be nice to you.
Oh crap. I just had a moment of feeling bad. I’m sorry Bobby33, i really didn’t mean to make you cry. I just assumed you knew what the bitch section was all about and were old enough to handle it.
There is more and more bicycles on the road everyday. Get used to it you fucking babies. Hearing you idiots whine in here about how bikes are in your way makes me want to get on my bike and hit the streets. We’ll see how many of you will try and back up your badass tough guy words with some actions. Probably driving daddies car too, people don’t want us on the sidewalk , and we shouldn’t be allowed to drive along the curb right up to lights in traffic right? (that complaint was in here not to long ago too). Now I read complaints about being in the middle of the road, are you kidding me I drive and bike about 50/50 and have for years now and have never once come across a stituation where I couldn’t just go around someone on a bike if not right away then after maybe a minute at the most. Suck it up, pay attention to whats going on around you and share the road its not hard.
LOL
Settle down Bikeman, don’t want to burst a vein there. I like how you’re all riled up and sweaty, sitting in front of your computer justifying yourself.
I see the trolls have come out from under the bridge these past couple of days and are now cruising the streets in their awesomemobiles.
watch out Bastard Fish..you are next LOL.
Ahh the sun is shining, the weather is sweet… great day for a flame war.
lol PDG.
I generally stay away from the middle of the road, because I’d rather be doored than flattened.
And no offense but I don’t have much sympathy for people who ride the roads with 1 inch wide tires. The way the roads are in this city you need something better than that. Yes it would be “nice” if the roads were better, if the sewer grates were more bike-friendly, but currently they’re not, and if you ride around on a delicate bike you have no right to complain about what happens.
As for being stuck behind a bike, well if you need to be somewhere fast, why is that everyone else’s problem. How about leaving a little earlier so you can hopefully navigate all the many delays on the roads, only one of which is bicyclists.
some of this would be worth my comments but the grossly generalized stereotypes are making me sick.
My older brother has been riding his bike for over 40 years. The fucking drivers in this town are so goddamn intolerant of his ilk, he drives 20-30 miles outside of town to be able to ride his bike safely. Can’t blame him since he got knocked off his bike in front of MSVU last summer – the cunt got out of the car, asked him if he was o.k. and before he could even catch his breath, she jumped in her car and took off.
Settle down Bikeman, don’t want to burst a vein there. I like how you’re all riled up and sweaty, sitting in front of your computer justifying yourself.
———–
Well a bitch would be a bitch if you’re not riled up and into it now would it. Actually i don’t really get all that riled up, just a fast typer with lots to say. Wish i was sweating though, currently my office is freaking cold. But i think i’ll cut out for the day and get sweaty in the sun.
Justifying myself? Sorry,..don’t understand that one.
Mole Rat. I hear what you’re saying. I don’t know how the skinny tire people do it. Those little tires look incredibly unsafe IMO. If the roads were better i could understand it, but they just look like they’re ready to collapse after hitting a good pothole.
Release the hounds….
Bikeman, you’ve made your point. Let me just say that I bike everywhere, but I stay farthest to the right as possible. Yes, bikers are entitled to as much road as cars, but it doesn’t give you the right to flaunt you’re green ass saying “look at me! I’m so energy efficient!” It fucking pisses me off when it so happens I’m in a car. There comes a point where fricken common sense has to come in to place, when the bicyclist needs to realize that they are, in fact, SLOWER than cars, and should be courteous enough to move the fuck out the way so they don’t get run over. I only advise using the middle of the road when there is a line of cars parked on the right and it endangers the bicyclist. This is coming from an avid biker, just to make things clear. I don’t even own a car, much less drive one.
I take it then if your a biker or ped your nothing. If you own a car than your the boss. Are you telling me now that if you don’t have a car then maybe you should stay away from the roads because you don’t belong there. I’m sick of hearing about how bikers and peds are always in the wrong. The cars don’t own the roads like some people seem to think they do. The roads are for everyone and everyone has to abide by the laws on them. Car owners do not own them just because they have 3000 lbs under their asses.
Bikeman is dumb
I feel that while Dubious was an ass to begin with, his awesomemobile talking has been overshadowed by the leotardeness of bikeman’s insistance on getting everyone in an uproar, thus losing the battle for bikes and peds.
Kaytarded. It’s too fitting.
I’m getting SO tired of people assuming that people who ride bikes don’t own cars.
STOP RIDING ON THE FUCKING SIDEWALK, OK?
Hey OP,
I find the best time to avoid driving with cyclists is around 6:30pm, downtown on the last Friday of every month. Check it out
Yes, PK. I won’t ride on the sidewalk.
PK’s the fucking hostess of the Weakest Link.
CAN YOU SAY OWNED?!?!
Hey OP – the douche squad called. They want their captain back.
Now where did I park my awesomobile??
Gotta say awesomobile made my fricken day. I’m probs gonna start calling my Trek that in replacement of Herb. Or at least that can be it’s nickname. Gotta love ‘ol Herb.
I’m sorry, but I’m a bit passionate about this since I’m almost mowed down on a daily basis by some shitlick on Lacewood who thinks it’s a grand idea to use the sidewalk as his/her personal bicycle roadway.
Kind of makes me want to carry a stick to put in their fucking spokes as they whiz by.
“where did I park my awesomobile?”…hahahaha good one
just out of curiosity…. if bikers aren’t allowed to drive on the road or sidewalks… where the hell are they allowed to drive??? Across the sky like ET maybe….
Hey Dino… fuck off.
Hey Dino Jr. I totally agree with you on the riding in the middle of the road. About the only time i do that is going down Agrcola but when i do that on Agricola, i’m generally going car speed, or i should say, the speed cars should be going while driving down that street. Everywhere else i stay as far to the right as possible because i find it safer and because i also drive a car so i know what it’s like when you’re in a car behind a bike.
As far the eco-thing goes. It’s interesting how we always assume people ride bikes because it’s ‘green’. That’s only a small part of my reason, less then 1% i’d say. I mainly bike for the health and money reasons. Getting older and cycling keeps me going, and i love keeping my money. But cycling because it’s green, i leave that for others.
Pretty Kitty, i hear ya, i hate when cyclists who use the sidewalk don’t respect the walkers. I personally don’t believe in the “never cycle on sidewalks” thing because i think walkers and cyclists have more in common that cyclists and cars. That being said, i think any cyclist who uses a sidewalk for whatever reason needs to show the upmost respect for the walkers. Slow down, go on the grass and don’t fly by them. And certain sidewalks like Barrington/Spring Garden, etc should be off-limits completely. Too many people. But there are tons of sidewalks that are rarely used by walkers that cyclists could use if they respected the few walkers they meet.
How about you post your name and address so that we cyclists can come see you personally about this issue… chicken shit
Do not bike on right side going through the rotary. Get off and walk if you can’t get up that hill fast enough or stay in the middle and peddle your tight little buns off. Was nearly killed there. Fuckwads don’t pay attention to you and will cut you off fo sho.
Ya, fo sho. I ALWAYS take up a full lane when going through the rotary. Its safest and HRM tells me to.
