This is like the bike-themed equivalent of telling women to smile.

But why do such a thing? It’s like bear-baiting, except the bears are made from aluminum and weigh two tons.

That cyclist should definitely stick to the bumpy sidewalk on some circuitous route adjacent to the highway WHERE THEY BELONG!

It’s suburban denver; I strongly suspect that that immensely wide street they pulled off the freeway to get onto is typical of the roads there.

Of course it is.

Worst part is that he’s RSVP’d to a race I’m attending tomorrow so he’ll probably be bitching about getting put on blast.

This morning, after suggesting to a guy in a Mercedes that he give cyclists a bit more space next time, he told us that we “deserved to get run over.” I told him to have a nice day.

Good on you. Sometimes I wish I had that sort of temperament. I probably would have tried to fight the guy, for worse or for worse. 😑

As for telling people about their bike issues, I prefer the, “hey you probably already know this…”

Always really impressed with the bile that shitty drivers have ready to unleash at the drop of a hat. Like, do they go through their whole day like that? Is it specific to being in a car? (could be both but I suspect the latter)

you live in a country wherein the “put children in concentration camps” party just had a decent showing at the ballot box.

So yeah, I think plenty of people are wandering around full of bile.

Earlier today a guy jumped out from behind a truck into the bike lane and I almost crashed into him.  
I was gearing up to yell some stupid shit at him when he turned to look at me and I saw that he was sporting what appeared to be a huge knife scar running from the corner of his mouth up into his ear.  
I didn’t say a word.

Some shithead riding an ebike hit my wife yesterday. She was slowing down to wait to pass the person in front of her (someone was also coming the other way in a bike lane) and this asshole tried to pass her at speed and on the wrong side. He only made contact with her hand, thank goodness.

She was so shocked by the situation that _she apologized_… Fucker didn’t even ask if she was ok until she asked him.

That sounds like how 99% of ebike riders I’ve seen roll.  
Glad your wife’s ok.

Are ebikes bringing non-cyclists into bike spaces, or are they letting jackass cyclists really go HAM on being shitty?

The same question as triathalon, I guess.
