Why the fuck do some cyclists make it their duty to yell stupid shit as their riding by?
Second guy was right, you aught to HTFU.

Well anon I heard from someone once that helmets save lives and didn't want to get clotheslined by a door

>>980674
Walking would've been faster
>5mph on a trail
>walking in the bike lane

>>980666
>yell stupid shit as their riding by?
>stupid shit as their riding
>their riding
>stupid
For real tho wear a helmet dummy.
>>980666
>fuck you Stop caring about my safety faggot
I don't even usually wear a helmet unless I'm in a group ride because etiquette but Jesus let it go
I agree with OP there seems to be a lot of freds who feel the need to lecture other cyclists, who get their sense of authority based on the fact they bought entirely wrong gear for their purposes based on what the salesman told them at the store.

Bike lanes are for freds, dentist and moms. S H A R E T H E R O A D
Also stop parking in the bike lane.
>>980666
wear a helmet OP, its ok, nobody will make fun of your self-conscious ass
Sorry OP but I think you're a biatch. What kind of person do you have to be (i.e. look and act) to have other people tell you what to do?
Don't do stupid things and/or look like a push over. Be intimidating, handle yourself. Don't let others push you.

The guy was riding along parked cars on a 40 mph road. Don't tell me you would prefer that over a pretty much unused bike lane.

i felt compelled to toss out 'nice BMC!' just a few minutes ago to a dude on a teammachine slr01
>>981735
did the "perfectly good cycling road" perchance look like this?
>>980666
>>"helmets save lives!!"
>ride with helmet on
>get cut off, brushed off, honked on, deprived of my right of way and nearly run down all the fucking time
>ride with out a helmet
>get plenty of space, get plenty of time, never honked on, not even one dangerous situation since March when I stopped wearing helmet on my commute
>>980666
>the door zone
It's illegal to door a cyclist, m8
This is what gopros are for

People are definitely more careful when they realize they could actually affect someone's safety with their car
