Uh, me watch bike riders without being bound down and gagged? That’s a joke; love Lance Armstrong.

I feel that way about Joggers here. It’s like they have to job on the sidewalk and they expect you to get out of their way. ARe you watching the Tour De France?

I find that concept to be true not only to bikers..but people in general. Alone, they are pretty much harmless, but get a bunch of them together and you are liable to end up with a race riot.

Thanks for stopping by my site!

Came across your site through Andrena’s blog (Heavenly Ankh). I am anti-bike-especially streets. I live in West Virginia. We have curvy roads. Yet, everywhere, little yellow signs with a person on a bike stating “Share the road”… well, I would if they didn’t ride right smack dab in the middle of it. One of these days, I’ll have an oopsie and squash an unsuspecting biker. Well, one can dream. Nice site!!

I went to Finland recently, and couldn’t believe the great accommodations for walkers and bikers everywhere, even on the edges of 4-lane highways (complete with underpasses for crossing. Maybe if we non-motorized weren’t always having to fight the cars for space in this country we wouldn’t turn on each other so much!

I can’t imagine. They live a walking stick through the spokes from reality.

It’s as if there is a sort of vehicle escalation: cylcists endanger pedestrians; cars endanger cylclists and pedestrains; SUVs endanger cars, cyclists, and pedestrians…

But the pedestrian is the ultimate loser, threatened by everything with wheels.

My husband rides his bike to work three days a week. I’m not anti-biker.

But…

Where I live, out West, nobody walks anyway. Nevertheless, bikers are sometimes still annoying. They do the pack thing on the busiest roads, riding two and three abreast, making it difficult to pass. They stupidly forget that cars outweight them by tons. They don’t mind the street signs and stoplights.

As the previous commentor indicated, they seem to have a bit of a misplaced superiority complex.

i am afraid I haven’t been on a bike in years. but I know a few bikers. the ones i *do* know are very PROUD of being bikers, it’s all ENVIRONMENT FIRST for them and although I agree with them in principle, I don’t like their attitude of superiority, as if just because they ride a bike they are somehow BETTER human beings than those amongst us who drive cars (I don’t drive either to be honest, but david does, and when/if i have another baby i *have* to learn or else i think I’ll go mad!)

Sorry I didn’t mean to sound so angry, I’ve been freezing cold all day trying to get to grips with Motion and yesterday I was horrobily unproductie and i think it’s all getting to me.

I’ll be all smiles and sunshine again tomorrow… maybe… grrr….
