Seems like our driving mentality applies to cyclists too!

Someone needs to swim in the shallow end of the gene pool

Moral superiority changes nothing.

Not an ounce of fat on those guys! I guess they're part of the 'live a day like lion instead of 100 years as a sheep' crowd.

Yeah, really... plus, it's nothing I haven't seen people in cars do pretty much on a daily basis in this city. The fact they are cutting people off or running a light on bikes is primarily adding to their own risk.

Being a cyclist myself and if I was in my car and that guy that went through that intersection when it was not legal. I would have no regrets for hitting him or them. These kind of folks that make us active cyclists look bad.

So if you see them, please hit them w/ the F150 Texas edition, they won't be missed!

** For the reals, that video P'd me off!!**

Default Horses for Courses

Translation, "to each his own." However physics it at it's finest when a car and bicycle meet. And, it hurts the same no matter who had the right of way....cyclists lose.

I think it's the arrogance of some cyclists that puts people off, yes not an ounce of fat, but as a variation on Twange's comment; they were probably conceived in the shallow end of the gene pool.

Well, most of that looked like adolescent male fun, with which I have no problem whatsoever. However, a couple of them are the kind of cyclist that give cyclists a bad name, and should have their bikes revoked.
