I hate peas but I don't call them fags.

Because bicycles are technically vehicles.
Roads are for vehicles.
Next question.

no sh*t dumbass... why don't you stop using your car and start walking on the sidewalk instead and see how safe you feel when bikes start riding on the same space you're walking on?

Just consider your small town is a training center for bikers. I'm no speeder and have never had a ticket driving a vehicle (Age=31) but hell........... They came in droves after I moved in & never knew! I am serious about the Olympic training center here! Built a few years after I moved here.

oh really? i didn't know that all bikers are all blind. yeah, since you're already on the road, why dont you turn your bike around and go the opposites way of the road and see how safe you feel when a truck start riding on the same space youre riding on.

Backpedal any faster and your going to bump into a car.

bicycles are supposed to follow the rules of the road. Guess you're too dumb to realize why

Then what is the reasoning for that? I dont care, you're puting youself in damage aswell as the driver and all the cars behind and create a death a massacrer.

look genius its people like you that don't deserve licenses. just because you're in a car you think the road belongs to you and anything that would need you to focus on your driving shouldn't be on it because you're trained to drive passively, and you still didn't get my point, it wouldn't be safe for pedestrians if bikes were sharing the sidewalk with them... but oh wait, you couldn't probably give a sh*t about other people.

"Mostly joking" but I really do hate them faggy Bikers! Did you get that post Punk?

You being 6 days older of a member here than me but have 5200 posts more than me suggests you probably post alot of BS posts in Off Topic. Do you even use the computer type forums or is it all back talking people in Off Topic? Dummy!

Actually I did a lot of posting in Distributed computing as well as posting hardware questions and answers for people. And for the most part Im pretty helpful, instead of saying no no words!


That and I did a 1500 multipost before the forums disabled that (yeah, I vacationed) , but I thought it was funny

There are hardly any pedestrians walking on the sidewalk, even if there is you should be able to see them ahead of time and avoid hitting them, even if you do hit them, it s not gonna kill them but if you got hit by a car, the impact will be alot greater. Why do you make it seem like you're gonna guaranteed to hit a pedestrian on the sidewalk? Cars pass by you ever sec, do yo u reall think people can avoid you forever?

Because when I walk out of my apartment, I don't want to get sideswiped by a biker going 30mph.
