Bike lanes suck.
Cyclists have the right and responsibility to be an integral part of the traffic flow. As Thinker points out, the problem with bike lanes is at intersections, where typically the bike lane disappears.
Cyclists need to follow the rules of the road.
Cycling tight shorts help prevent chaffing in the crotch for me. I commute in bike shorts.
For the real racers, the ads represent sponsors who pay expenses in return for exposure. Unlike climbers who plaster their helmets and vehicles with company logos and get nothing in return.
I have a private bathroom and shower at work. Doesn't everyone?
I'm sure you feel the same smug self-righteousness about the police officers, firemen, and soldiers who also have a higher accident rate than sedate office workers as you drive to work in your Surburban (bigger is safer!).
Cheers to you!
Two is the number of pinhead cyclists I saw on my 15 minute commute this morning.
1. Pinhead One was riding against traffic.
2. Pinhead Two blew around a stop light (side street entered from the left only) by hopping on the sidewalk to the right, blowing by pedestrians at close range and high speed.
The pathetic thing was that these were not kids, but greyhaired men. You would think they would have learned to act like adults by now.
