They cut in front of you, behind you, beside you, cut you off, don't signal, weave in and out of traffic, don't obey traffic signs or lights, don't give a shit about pedestrians et cetera et cetera ad nauseum (in a general sense) and then have the audacity to give you the finger if you don't bow to their every whim (in a general sense).
Cyclists (in a general sense) can go fuck themselves....
Yeah well, I'm still a better person than you...
I'm a professional driver Donnie, in that I use to get paid a lot of money, (for 7 years) and had an EZ licence -air brake endorsement (don't know what the BC equivalent is). Got my licence when I was 15 (in Alberta for a summer work stint)...have driven on 3 continents and across North America several times (once with 3 piggybacked Kenilworths on the TransCanada -wot an adventure dat was...), registered rally race car driver..... so I feel qualified to tell you....you are absolutely right. Now as a full-time cyclist for 20+ years cyclists are truly the lowest of the low, pieces of shitstain that deserve to be legally mowed down at the earliest DeathRace 2000 opportunity.....I can not tell you what I bare witness to...don't get me started with scum of the scum...bike couriers....how many times have have I almost (most are fucking gutless cowards and ride away) when I yell and swear at them when the fly through stop signs and red lights...
Now that said, they don't belong on the road. Cars rules there. It has always been thus (at least after horses :. ) and will always be (hopefully with hydrogen fuel cells....)...Cyclists deserve their own rules and their own paths...
So moving forward the transportation stakeholders, automobile drivers, public transportation people and cyclists have to work together (and be better than the politico) and figure it out...if you don't...you all are donkey fucking cum stains...I will personally animate with my bike mounted *RayGun
Have a nice sunshiny day.
Sincerely,
SpiderMang!
