Watch while I get squeezed off in the bike lane by a negligent driver. I'm wearing a Kodak V705 on my helmet.

  • Visit Markenlei to see how bicycle infrastructure is in The Netherlands.

  • @kopen I'd love to! I'd never be able to tolerate riding in the US again. Come to think of it the US should really be called the ME. Think about it. ;-)

  • Part of me thinks Critical Mass Rides (went on one recently) are a potential nuisance or worse, making someone late or eating up their time, but then I think of the uninformed drivers who honk at me or tell me to get on the sidewalk or worse yet, make left turns right in front of me--and it makes me not regret it--whether it's a lack of seeing me or being very careless--thiking about using my 200L headlight when it's light with more traffic/intersections or picking up a 140A daytime headlight.

  • @DJBucs2005 I'm a motorist just like all the rest and take a very dim view of Belligerent Mass and other cycling civil disobedience.

  • @MrHobiecat It pays to ride like motorists don't give shit about you as a cyclist. The surprise is of course all feigned shock. I expect the bastards to hit me and ride accordingly.

  • @youztuber5000

    Weird, because it works for most of Europe. Even on Italian country roads where the speed limit is 100kph, I have seen nothing but safe passing of cyclists, even when 2 or 3 abreast in a large bunch.

  • goddamnit its just not safe for bicycles on the side of 40 mph roads, there should be a 30mph speed limit law for cyclists.

  • Hey I tend to respect cyclists as much as I can, what I can't stand is being up here in the countryside they ride like they OWN the fucking road. Just yesterday I had to follow 3 bicyclists around a blind corner at 5 miles an hour up a hill because they took up the ENTIRE right lane riding shoulder to shoulder and talking to each other. There was no room to pass without crossing completely into the left lane on a BLIND CORNER. It was the first time I thought about bumping some tires with my car.

  • sucks man! they never give us any respect
