This is probably going to rub some people the wrong way, but does anyone else here not give a fuck about cyclists? I literally have no respect for them.

Think about it. You're on a 12 pound bike with no protection, weaving in and out of your lane, obstructing traffic and gesturing at drivers who overtake you. Meanwhile, they're in 4000 pound machines that are designed to protect the occupant at the direct expense of whatever they hit. If a car and a bicycle collide, there's no question who's getting the worst of it.

But watching how these retards behave, you could be forgiven for thinking its the exact opposite. The most arrogant fucking pricks I have ever seen are cyclists, especially the ones who get all kitted up to ride their shit down major highways.

When I'm driving, I expect any pedestrian or cyclist to have enough common sense to stay out of my way, for the same reason a rabbit should have enough sense to get out of the way of a buffalo.

For what it's worth, I'm a cyclist too. Been riding for the last three years. And when I ride my bike, I make sure to get out of the way of cars, because I'm not a fucking idiot. But even then I have no respect for other cyclists and whatever arbitrary 'rules' they think exist. It makes me laugh every time some autist on his carbon fiber shit-tourer has a hissy fit because I'm in his non-existent lane facing the wrong way or passed him without signalling. Like seriously man, what are you going to do? By the time you get those gay little shoes unclipped to fight me I'll be five blocks away laughing.

By all means, have fun on your bikes. Just don't act like it entitles you to anything.

I hate the notion of cyclists as a unified group, but that's cognitive bias for you. Most people just see all cyclists as two wheeled /n/iggas.
>>
>>1057182

that's probably because so many of them act like absolute nigs

You can be a prick behind the wheel, but when you're sitting on a piece of aluminium wearing a plastic helmet like a special boy then I suggest you tone down the assholery, because you might get fucked up

I hate being in London. I hate having to cross the road in London; because you have to check in both directions three times; inside for cyclists, traffic, outside for cyclists, and then do the same for the opposite side of the road. They can be literally anywhere. I hate taking a taxi in London; the number of times I've seen a cyclist ride through a red light directly in front of a taxi turning right (and 50% of the time, gesticulate at the taxi as though it's the one in the wrong) it puts my hearts in my mouth every time. I hate walking in London, where every time I watch a cyclist ride up along the inside of a long wheelbase vehical, apparently oblivious to the dangers.

Cyclists get themselves killed because they genuinely don't believe they are the slowest moving, smallest and most invisible traffic on the roads. The genuinely seem to believe that every other road user should have RADAR and precognition to deal with their seemingly random and dangerous maneuvers. It defies explanation.

I would drive big rigs that top out at 82,500Lbs and get pissed on by bikers.

I inched out into an intersecion that I just knew a biker would run the stop sign, and he started to swear at me "Asshole" You broke the law, and I could kill you for it. Pay attention to the laws, and I will pay attention to you.

No, but as a general misanthrope, I honestly can't say I think any more highly of the people on the road in motorized vehicles, either. There's too fucking many of you and a world-spanning epidemic plague would do wonders for roadway congestion in general.

tl;dr: kill yourself

How does that work?
>>
>>1057366
Big corporations who own massive buildings that they don't use in London don't want to pay tax on the asset. They get around this by moving people in to make them domestic residences. They are essentially shanty towns inside many large gutted buildings. The rent is very cheap so the immigrants can afford it but the conditions are terrible. London wears a very thin mask of grandeur behind which is the city's real face of poverty and deprivation.

Äktschuelly: The rig's driver is a prick. He drove over a double line, ignoring the road markings of the exit. Probably fucked up and chose wrong exit and continued straight on.

That being said, cyclist should have looked both ways. Then again, you expect other drivers to respect the rules.

What a fucking idiot.

Here's the deal bike faggots. Until you can afford a car you'll be treated like the scourge you are. Even in the UK where biking and public transit and nationally acceptable and encouraged they are still far down to food chain in hierarchy. And it's not gonna change. Wanna commute on a bike? Get used to severe injuries then :)

OP, are you aware that trolling/posting bail outside of /b/ has been and still is against site policy and is a bannable offense? Also samefagging is blindingly obvious to everyone and impresses no one, it just makes you look like an idiot. If it were possible to delete threads anymore I'd tell you to do just that but since you can't I'd recommend you slink back to your /b/asement lair and restrict your shitposting to that place instead of shitting up the literal slowest board in this place with your pathetic attempts at trolling. kthxbye

I like car drivers.
It used to be a bit rought, but I can clearly see a general effort on their behalf to respect other participants in traffic over the past few years.
I especially love it when they drive onto the crossing and bike lane when trying to merge from a side street, then after noticing me, the back up, to give me some space to pass.
I try to return the favour by letting them through sometimes when I have the right of way...

All in all, I'm just really happy that car drivers can be such good people sometimes.
>>
>>1057180

I have to go cycling around for reasons, and here in countryside is not that pretty because large trucks everywhere and wherever you expect them.

This said, I'm quite the respectful cyclist, knowing that I'll be the only victim of any accident involving me. I don't even gesture at anyone of them, even when I should, because I've been a "cager" and I know noone gives a shit about a puny cyclist.

Anyway this doesn't stop cagers to exaggerate literally everywhere, cutting my way as if I had cartoon-rated braking systems and elasticity.

My personal statistic about jerks on the road just reduces to two rules:

- if driver is female, or car is a SUV (or any non-cheap vehicle), then they're arrogant and dangerous: stay away

- the most safely driven vehicles out there are large trucks; the larger and heavier, the most correct driving style to be expected.
>>
>>1059533
>the most safely driven vehicles out there are large trucks
this is generally true, but can depend on the region some
in texas, semis always drive pretty sanely, as do most large commercial vehicles
lots of redneck wannabe faggots driving their lifted super duties drive like complete assholes

>if driver is female they're arrogant and dangerous
this x1000
the only times when i think cars have legitimately not seen me were women driving
i once had one pull out right onto me and almost hit me after i made eye contact with her, when i had a green light and she was trying to turn right on red
>>
>>1059533
- if driver is female, or car is a SUV (or any non-cheap vehicle), then they're arrogant and dangerous: stay away
Or a cheap minivan

They're usually driven by first-gen immigrants who think owning a murdercage is some kind of status symbol and people on bikes are vermin who need to be immediately killed
