To the jackass in the giant SUV turning left onto Ochterloney from Pine Street: You almost hit me as I was turning left onto Pine on my bicycle, then shouted profanities and asked me to perform fellatio on you. Are you upset because I had the right of way, or because you are so lonely you have to ask random guys on the street to go down on you? I hope you found someone cuddle with, idiot. -Dartmouth Biker

He did!
Are you the same twit that passed to the inside of a school bus when its red lights were flashing and the stop sign was out?
I always say people are retarded for biking around here. It’s just not safe, there’s no set up for them on our goat trails we call roads and motor vehicle users don’t consider cyclists a road vehicle, just a moving speed bump with a guy on it.
I stopped and waited behind a school bus this morning. Took awhile too, as they were special needs kids. Coincidentally, earlier during this exact same commute I watched some ‘twit’ speed past a school bus at 70-80km/h crossing a double yellow line in the process.
So I guess that balances out Bro Tim’s world, a least a little.
I know drivers are idiots too but cyclists think they are special. And it’s easy to get a plate number off a car, not so with a bike.
AN UNDERCLASS BIKER IN AN UNDERCLASS TOWN
Look, you must not be upset. This “contretemps” happened in Dartmouth which is an Underclass town. It is even more Underclass than Halifax itself, which is saying something. Biking in Dartmouth, by logical extension, is therefore itself to be understood as an Underclass activity.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
I don’t believe that they think that they are any more special than any one else out there, they’re just more noticeable when they do something wrong.
Curious though, who do you think has more potential to kill someone: the douche in the silver car passing a bus at 70km/h on a double yellow or a cyclist cruising by when the bus has stopped?
Hazardous I’m not retarded, I’m just too poor for a car and too busy to waste time fucking around with Metro Transit! 🙁
Two comments:
In the phrase “Jackass in the giant SUV”, the word jackass is superfluous since it is commonly understood that the vast majority of giant SUV drivers are jackasses. The only reason a person could want one of those is to feel somehow superior to other people or to ensure that in an accident the other vehicle is totally anihilated, leaving the giant SUV relatively intact.
If one decides to call the police to report a flagrant driving infraction it may ba necessary to have a second witness to back you up. I called to report a driver who ran a red light to make a left turn and then actually had to drive on the wrong side of the road to avoid taking me out in the crosswalk. The very polte and well intentioned police officer I spoke with called her and she claimed I had crossed against the light. Without a witness it was my word against hers so nothing happened.
If Bro Tim takes traffic safety as seriously as it appears, I’m curious as to how many cars he’s reported when witnessing traffic violations. The lack of license plates on bicycles obviously prevents reporting, but every car has a plate, so it stands to reason that he’s reported, well, fuck, at least *one* a day, right?
I can’t count the number of vehicle violation tickets I’ve given out in the past. And I have called in plate numbers. And you?
A bike flying down the street between a school bus and the curb can kill and maim a kid just stepping off the bus as easily as a car. When a head hits the road/sidewalk and cracks, it really doesn’t matter, now does it.
No, it doesn’t.
BroTim responds to a bitch about a negligent motorist with a bitch about a negligent cyclist. He must assume that the negligent cyclist is equally if not more harmful than a cyclist. So he is either biased or lacking in intelligence; either way, he does not understand elementary physics. And yet he somehow managed to become a police officer. Go figure.
OP’s just lucky they dodged a bullet there.

Sorry Meow, both drivers and cyclists can be idiots and can kill people. The biggest difference between motorized vehicles and bicycles is that you very rarely see a motorized vehicle use sidewalks to drive on or use a crosswalk to cross a street (riding, not walking).
Give me a break.
Until cyclists pay licensing fees and insurance, you will be considered guests on our streets and will be treated accordingly.
^^ given a nice little towelette and an appy?
Last week while walking up North Street on the sidewalk not far from the bridge , a male cyclist came inches of hitting me.That C*cksucker was decked in cycling garb ridding an expensive bike.He knew better….If he would’ve hit me I would’ve been stuck with medical bills for things that aren’t covered by MSI,because c*nts like him don’t have to have any kind of insurance covering them for stupid asswipe moves like driving up onto the sidewalk in order to avoid a red light.
Not quite. They get the inlaw treatment…
Contempt, masked by disingenuous politeness.
^^ but I want the wafer thin mint. just one
