the cyclist is obviously in the wrong for preventing the CRV from going 50mph down a 25mph street.

argh the rattling speedometer thing. video kinda sucks because you cant see the actual tailgating, but the cop part confirms it. I can't understand tailgaters of any type...you simply cant stop your car fast enough if you're that close. Why would you want to be involved in an accident?

I'm really torn here; I hate tailgaters, but I also hate cyclists. :hmm:

Awesome. Good to see a cop like that. Pretty good speed on that bike as well for such a cr@ppy road.

I don't mind cycles on the road so long as they don't pick and choose which rules they want to follow. That's where you get the hate.

As long as you apply that rule to motorists, sounds reasonable to me.

No matter what the law says, you'll never see me riding a bicycle with traffic. Seems..... really stupid.

If you're going to get a ticket, might as well get a ticket for a reason. Run the cyclist over and be done with it.

I hate cyclists.

if you hit a pedestrian while riding on the sidewalk you're a fucking murderer, but if you ride on the street and get hit by a car you deserve it.

wait what? :confused:

It seems a cam towards the back is as important as a cam pointing forward for a cyclist.

Do you creeps get a free Big Bite for every cyclist you run over and harm??

No, it's a punch card. You get one star for every cyclist you run over and ten stars is a free Dairy Queen Blizzard. It's kind of a rip off though because the cyclists are the ones that have to punch the cards to confirm the hit and a lot of them are real dicks about it.

Exactly. I'm sure there is a local jogging path where he can do his 30 mph sprints without disrupting the motorists with important things to do.

Did you not see that the bicyclist was actually exceeding the posted speed limit?

Some years back, before our current law, I called about a guy. Gave them his tag #. Cops told me they couldn't do anything unless he hit me. A bit effing late, imo. Surprised they didn't visit me after I told him he'd probably take it a bit more seriously if it was him or one of his loved ones and that I was going to start carrying while riding.
