I was giving my friend a ride home from h.s. (probably 1996) and passed this bike on a really dead sidestreet. He might have been going 8 mph and was in the middle of the block. I turned at the corner and went another full block. The guy comes up next to me and is probably 50 years old, and goes, "Hey butthead, what are you doing?", then rides off. I guess in his mind I cut him off? I tried to follow him just to fuck with him some, but he was gone.
The bikers here aren't real bad but it's flat and the streets are wide. I saw douches in Seattle running red lights, hogging lanes, & breaking 20 other traffic laws all the time.
The difference between being stupid and breaking traffic laws on a bike versus doing it in a car is a few thousand pounds. I'm no physics expert, but I can tell you that the car usually wins that battle. Bicyclists should recognize this fact and act accordingly.
Exactly. The whole concept of cycling in 21st century Seattle is deadly,dangerous, and stupid. Should just let natural selection do its work instead of bitch about it here.
You were on his list of people who were banned or left the board.
I'm glad you are back. Having all types of opinions keeps shit more lively around here. Well that, and lots of booze/blow. And hookers of course. Never forget the hookers.

And whining. Not that I would expect anything less.
