I really dislike bicyclists. We have good bike paths. Fantastic ones in fact. Yet I still see them on the sides of thin roads, usually riding double-wide(which is illegal here when there is traffic).
Furthermore, why would they ever have to obey traffic laws at all? Well, they don't....
There is a very nice stretch of road by my house that a bunch of bicyclists lobbied to have repaved with a bike lane. There are never any bikes on it, ever. Furthermore, how was that repave funded? Car registration fees and emission testing fees of course....
In short: If bicyclists want to use the roads my car registration fees help pay for, they better cough up some dough or behave.
Yeah, bikes should be used on roads a lot more until all the car drivers decide to give in and get a bike and use it..actually use it..not just for riding on "paths" and then dumping it in your garage for ten years until you get a new girlfriend and decide to suggest a date where you "take a nice bike ride". Running errands on a bike is actually fun..though you do have to move the pedals and blow through stop signs.
Onwardly, they should double..triple your registration fees and tax you for making unnecessary trips in your car because you don't use LISTS, hating bike riders, ruining roads, polluting the air and the land, lowering the quality of life in cities, honking and tossing cheeseburgers out the window..
Taxes fund stuff like repaving roads all the time..do you think bikes are the ones causing the damage? Maybe the bikers found a shorter route inhabited by cars driven by people who don't dislike bicycle riders as much, you must be old or something. I'm sure that those biker's taxes went to pay for something you saw a need for..maybe for more blacktop parking in your own favorite herd of MALLS or for a new stoplight down by the Mars Cheese Castle..come to think of it..bikers don't even use stoplights...they should get a tax credit or a voucher of some sort from the government.
Furthermore, When I'm driving I fully expect bicyclists to break the law around me...most of what they do is very, very predictable once you embrace it and look at it properly.
The only thing I don't like is when I'm riding my bike at night and I'm not wearing any lights or reflective stuff, that sucks.
We need to recalibrate every person in this country including people like you. Bite down on the rag. It only really hurts when the meter pegs. Good news though, the meter only pegs when recalibrating Americans for multiple dumbshit stuff...
being way to dependent on automobiles for transportation and self image,
being fat from eating horrible shit
being generally lazy and visionless
not knowing htf the story of Rome goes
thinking that Rome was the capital of France and then of course... "yeah, but Italy's IN France". *
