They hardly enforce it and it kind of pisses me off. I guess it decongests the road ever so slightly, but I think it encourages speeding. And since needledicks feel as if they have a right to the 'fast lane' on the left, in the event that you actually need to get over there to turn or whatever, you're trying to merge with a full lane of assholes going 10-20mph over the limit.

Because one group is actively driving to fuck with us at worst, or too ignorant of what they're doing to us at best.
I hate biking around and seeing those tally mark decals you can buy for your car, with hashes next to a cyclist picture.
Like the fighter planes wold have swastikas for all the Germans they downed. I know it's not a message to me, but other motorists, but still.

I've had cars follow me, see how close they can get to me, actually bump me on purpose once, hit me twice by 'accident' (Both ran away), turn they're lights off and rev their engine when they see us coming at night, I've had bottles thrown on me, both open and closed, and countless shouts of abuse, and for what? I fucking laugh.
So, yeah, you can see how that grudge builds.

Not every motorist is a cager, but every cager is a motorist, so it's easy to think we hate all cars.

You forgot, attempted murder is morally equivalent to you just riding your bike and making some cager lift his pedal off the gas for 5 seconds and turn the steering wheel half a degree to the left and then half a degree to the right.

Git gud bikefags you are a literal embarrassment to yourself and other road users. No one else on the road acts more entitled, whiny and cringe inducing as you are, acting as though you have some right to own the entire road while not paying a cent of road tax and being a danger to other road users. Your pitiful slow speed and lack of insurance and licensing have caused a multitude of problems for the rest of society, you want to use the road system rightfully built for the car but believe you should be more entitled and have more rights to the road than average motorists who have rightfully paid for the system and have maintained a system that deals with the issues such as licensing and insurance. Plus the fact with all the childish lobbying or incessant whining it is clear cyclists are the bane and plague of society.

You can't be a cager without a cage, you fucking retard. Hence, all cagers are motorists, because motorists in this content means a car driver, but not all car drivers are raging cagers.
I really don't fucking care that much about raging cyclists because 1) They're dealing with this shit right now, and I imagine it'd cool down if they didn't have to be on the offensive so much, and more importantly 2) The damage a cyclist can do to a car is SO minimal compared to the damage a car can do to a cyclist, and as an added bonus, if a cyclist hits something hard enough to seriously fuck it up, he isn't going anywhere; you'll find him crumpled at the scene. Meanwhile, a cager on a war path can take out a dozen cyclists and speed away from the scene.

I mean, I'm about as freedom-loving as it gets, but with more and more people every year, more and more cagers, more and more traffic, more and more mixed use roadways, it will lead to more deaths unless we do something. There's too damn many accidents as it is and every day you hear about an ignorant cager murdering innocents by driving like a bag of shit. They need to be punished for their crimes. Pirating, drugs, fapping to loli, vandwelling? Who is hurt? But if you drive like a shitbag people may die, that's unacceptable.

It's a direct insult and threat to cyclists, so when they get mad at that, they respond with damaging that person's property.

As a cyclist who also regularly drives for work I think you're being far too one-sided. Yes, there should be greater responsibility on the person driving a big metal box but cyclists often don't do themselves any favours. Drivers and cyclists need to work together and be understanding of each other, not act like each is out to ruin the other's day.

For every nutjob driver there's the guy that pulls over so or puts his mirror in to let you through. We also don't often recognise the people that drive respectfully and give us space when overtaking and so on, we only notice when people are being cunts.

>>987878

>Hmmm I wonder who could be behind these crashes...

There were thousands of cyclists on that course, and hundreds of stewards & police around the course. There were no thumbtacks, caltrops, anti-personnel mines or snipers.

Just cyclists who are a danger to themselves and others.

So the answer to your question is "It was incompetent cyclists"; but we both knew that.

That wasn't his claim. My city (Stockholm, SE) is a very pedestrain- and cyclist friendly city by american standards, and the city core still has >50% of is area devoted to parking lots and roads - mainly adapted to personal motor vehicle transportation. This is completely unreasonable in a city where less than a fifth of travels to- and from the city centre is actualy made by car, and less than a third of city residents actualy have a license. There is still ungodly traffic chaos and queues, of course.

Cars lay claim to such silly amounts of public space that even a very modest car use completely changes the city landscape and the preconditions for every alternative mode of travel. Even when the "alternative" modes of travel are in the majority.
Our city could be nearly twice as dense if it wasn't for politicians catering to what is only a petty few asshats riding their cage everywhere.

>>987971
>Also fun fact: the first paved roads in America were built for bicycles.
Same applies to pretty much everywhere were modern roads were before the motorcar.

Here in Britain we have roads that are clearly not designed for cars - they're far too thin and winding - but are perfect for farm vehicles,walkers and cyclists (motorised and pedal-powered).

>>987912
Fair enough I guess. I'm not a city dweller so my perspective is different. I have some sympathy with "cagers" because of that I guess. Cycling's mostly just a hobby, aside from people like myself who work very nearby.

>>984815
To be fair, aren't all your roads 50 feet wide? There's plenty of space.

I do think maybe you should pay some road tax for cycling on the condition that a certain % is spent on cycle lanes etc. I'm not sure how you'd easily enforce it though.

>>987986
Riding a motorcycle down most of our tight country lanes must be a nightmare desu. The hedgerows are overgrown, the roads covered in mud and loose gravel etc, huge potholes...

>>987988
Governments should incentivise cycling by making it both cheaper and more safe and convenient.

They wont though, because they get so much dosh from tax on vehicles and petrol.

I'm still super mad that a small motorcycle has to pay road tax, but "green" cars don't.

>>987989
It's not even half as bad as all that. You just need to be prepared (have semi-off-road tyres during spring and autumn, winter ones in winter), and don't skimp on brakes and keep self-service them as often as a chain.

And the potholes aren't hard to avoid, since they're often along cager's wheel-lines, or too close to the hedge to worry about.

And because they're so winding cagers can't get any speed up and crawl along at 15-20.

Biggest issue is that some roads are too thin to overtake cars,so you get stuck behind some guy going 5mph because he's worried he might put that massive 4x4 he "owns" to its designed use.

Even road floods aren't an issue on a bike (as long as your exhaust is high enough. Literally had to lift my legs 2' off the ground to get through a flood once.Was sketchy as fuck.

>>987990
>road tax

There's no such thing, motorfriend. There are taxes on fuel and registration etc, but those don't come close to paying the full cost of roads. Furthermore, excessive driving and reliance on motor vehicles has all sorts of negative externalities that are paid for by society in general in other ways.

Driving is cancer.

>>987988
>I do think maybe you should pay some road tax for cycling on the condition that a certain % is spent on cycle lanes etc.
But "road tax" does not go towards those investments, anon.

Your income taxes however, do. So everyone with an income but no car is actually subsidizing the cagers favourite mode of transportation for him. They're welfare-queens. With big trucks and fragile egos.

They just need to build proper cycling infrastructure. Anything else is just throwing good money after bad.

>>988000
So, do what the Dutch did?

>>988002
Basically, yes. But you also have to couple that with improved driving standards; most complaints of "cagers" tend to come from Americans, who do truly have generally dreadful driving standards: the sort of complicated grade separated junctions that you get in the Netherlands would never work in the USA because drivers would just not be able to handle them.

>>988005
I think they should take a leaf out of the motorcycle licence system.

Here in the UK we get the same issue as what Americans have. Any mong can get behind a wheel after a minor and easy-as-fuck test.

Meanwhile motorcycle tests are split in to two parts (manoeuvres and road riding). So you have to be skilled to pass and be allowed on the road unrestricted. Which is weird since if you lose control of a motorcycle or are inattentive the most likely victim is only yourself, when doing the same in a car can leave many injured and you'll likely walk away with a minimum sentence (and slapped with a crime that should be classed as murder or manslaughter rather than "death by dangerous driving.")

>>988009
The UK driving test is one of the hardest in Europe (although I am reliably informed that the Polish driving test is harder still).

Any European driving test is incomparable to the average USA driving test, though.

AFAIR the only reason the UK motorbike test is split is because it's impossible for the tester to watch & control the rider on the road, so they have a seperate section for maneuvers where the tester can stand at the side and watch.

In the UK I had 17 hours of lessons including my test which I passed and then I could drive unrestricted.

>>988009
That is so different to the motorcycle endorsement I got in my U.S. state. You take a knowledge test and are issued a learners permit if you pass. You then can take out your motorcycle with only a few restrictions; no riding at night, no freeways, and no passengers. The permit expires after a year but can be reissued. Some people simply take a road test afterwards but that is rare. Most people take a class that teaches you how to ride. The class is 6p-10p during a weeknight and then 5 hours a day on Saturday and Sunday. On the weekend they provide motorcycles for you to practice on and teach you how to ride from never having sat on a bike. They are held in parking lots and they have different road stripes where you practice different maneuvers. At the end you take a skills test in the parking lot. The class is pretty cheap ($150) and I think is totally worth it.

>The 30mph speed limit in urban areas was devised at a time when death on the roads was an accepted part of daily life. In 1930, before its introduction, more than 7,300 people died in road accidents. At that time there were just over 2m vehicles on the road. It was a controversial move: speed signs were defaced and there was no shortage of irate drivers writing to the Times to protest.

Okay but we're not driving 5 ton 1960's cars with cable operated drum brakes. A modern car with disk brakes (not even ABS, but most have ABS now anyway) can stop in under half those distances.

>meaning that by the time they see someone they have to brake for they are already nearly at the reason they need to brake in the first place

Nothing to do with the speed limit. A limit is a limit, not a target. You should never drive faster than you can see I.e. if you're going around a blind corner with less than 10ft of visibility, you should go no faster than allows you to stop within 10ft.

>Speeds limits should be massively lowered anyway.

Research suggests that removing speed limits & road signs actually lowers accident rates.

>A modern car with disk brakes (not even ABS, but most have ABS now anyway) can stop in under half those distances.
The real problem with the graph is that it underestimates reaction time. The braking distance is likely some shitty back of envelope combination of the distance in various conditions for fuck knows what car.

Also, ABS can increase stopping distance under certain conditions, and almost nobody knows that its real purpose is to prevent lockups so that the driver can continue steering during emergency braking.

Regardless, most crashes occur at lower speeds on residential roads, so the car's raw braking ability isn't the problem. Driver inattentiveness is nearly always the cause.

>A limit is a limit, not a target.
Everyone treats it as a minimum.

>Research suggests that removing speed limits & road signs actually lowers accident rates.
Only if you design the environment to calm traffic by using roundabouts, diverters, and so on. And even then there are fuckwits who see that as some kind of video game challenge.

Only on freeways m80. Not in built-up areas. There, reseach not only suggests but proves that speed limits should be lowered to lower accident rates and the accident fallout, and that this can be done without negatively impacting travel time. In fact, lowering the speed limit is one of the single most effective ways we have of combating traffic jams and queues.

Here in England we have a shit load of rural roads in quite a bad state (both in the quality of the tarmac and their liability to flooding and mudding up in the winter), yet people still treat them like a rally course.

Nothing bothers me more than someone riding my fucking asshole when I'm going the speed limit. (Actually worse on the rare occasion I'm going over it)
I deliver pizzas and I GOTTA drive limit or I can lose my job, like there's a big fucking plastic sign on the top so all the nosey old people sitting on their porches know exactly who to call about my 'dangerous' driving, but nooooooo. Gotta ride up my asshole.
I put my hand our the window and point at the signs when this happens. Most of the time they beep at me and shit.
Like what the fuck, you can't force me to break the law.

Half the time I don't think people even know what the speed limit is for the road they are on.

Which is not the same as no speed limit you raging burger. There's a base speed limit that always applies in built-up areas if no other speed limit is posted. I this country it's 50km/h.
Doing away with other types of signs may or may not be a good thing, but it has no bearing on speedlimits. The speed limit has not been lifted.

Well of course there fucking is. Nobody is suggesting it's safe to drive a Varyon at 300km/h through past a school.

Jesus fuck why are cyclists so fucking autistic? How can you not grasp such simple concepts?

Kinda proud that I didn't acknowledge him or flip him off 2bh. Just ride and ignore the faggotry.

Jesus fuck, try to at least read the portion of GP that was quoted in the fucking post you replied to. You made a boo-boo.
