Reminds me of yesterday morning. Girl on bike was making a left (from sidewalk or road, don't remember), and a taxi made a right, rear-ended the bike. She "fell" off feet first, and the back tire got crushed.

No idea what the light situation was or who had the right of way, but good times...

i wanted to hate this at first, but I understand the guy's point.

I am hoping he is one that tries to stay in the bike lane when possible rather than try and play "I have a right to slow you down" in the traffic lane.

 

[Soundmanred]

I always imagined Safeway to be at least decent looking.

I just realized he hasn't been posting much since he got demolished in that bike winning contest...

 

[Scouzer]

Wow, that was awesome...haha. Love the ending.

Road bikers have a right to the traffic lanes and some simple hand gestures and head turns will notify the vehicles that you are coming in even if its for a little while to avoid obstacles.

I've done this MANY times and never got honked or yelled at by drivers. Oh yea, and I'm biking on HEAVILY TRAFFICkED ROADS WITHOUT BIKE LANES.

 

[punjabiplaya]

you have alternatives to bicycle lanes:

I guess I'm kinda lucky. When I go out on my bike, I have about 1km and 1 set of lights, then I'm out of town and basically have the road to myself.

You got honked at because you all think your better than everyone else. Your nothing but a DANGER on the road to the car drivers. We drive a big piece of metal that weights a ton, you ride a 10 pound bike. You do nothing but cause lanes to line up and have to go into on coming traffic lanes to get around you because you ride 10mph in a 45 zone.

Sounds like you are the ones that are a danger to the bike riders.

I also love the ones that you pass on the road, stop at a stop light, and they just ride up beside you and pass you up while your stopped at the light, then you have to go around them again. Arrogant pricks.

Did the little cyclist hurt your ego?

lol.

I was thinking about trolling his lame butt you're doing fine.

 

[PottedMeat]

you have alternatives to bicycle lanes:

i was more like 'huh a nissan titan in europe? whoa we export stuff now?'

edit: nevermind, it's a frontier

I like the end where he crashes into a police car. :thumbsup:

I used to commute up and down Melrose here in Vista 2-3 days a week by bike and had to get across 2 lanes of 45mph road to make a left turn. Usually it wasn't a problem as one of them was downhill so I was doing 20-25mph and would just signal that I was coming over but every once in a while I'd get some impatient twat who would honk at me for making them slow down a couple seconds even though half the time I was going the same speed as cars in front of me.

Some people are fucking retarded when they get behind the wheel of a car and they take every little inconvenience personally.

Rofl! Thanks for the op

Was about to insult OP, but then realized how funny video was.

Good post!

While it's a fairly amusing video, his point's a little flat.

If his contention is that he's mad that sometimes bike lanes are partially blocked so he should be able to ride anywhere he pleases (when there's a bike lane present)?

By that logic, should I be able to drive on the sidewalk anytime there's any kind of blockage in the street?

It doesn't matter. He crashes into shit and falls off his bike. Nothing else matters.

Around here you are not allowed to even cross into a bike lane in a car. When people do, they are the ones who get the ticket and I have seen cops sit and wait to cite people who use the bike lane to get up to an intersection and make a right turn. Sadly, they don't do it enough IMO.

I used to ride down a road with a high school just off on a side street and idiot parents would stop in the bike lane on the main road to drop their spawn off for school, forcing me to take the lane to get through there. The Sheriff would come around and ticket them every couple months and it would help for a week or two but they eventually return to their idiot ways.

Generate as many laws as possible so that revenue from fines can increase. With that revenue, hire more law enforcement to enforce the growing number of such laws. Continuing creating meaningless jobs and leeching off of the economy.

The video also has a semi-Baroque soundtrack, so +100.
