Like I said, I ride everything with two wheels and I do my best to respect everyone else. I've had a few instances where someone intentionally tried to just piss me the frick off. I offered to meet them Sonic, but all of them declined the invitation. Two wheels just seems to irrationally trigger some folks.

Cyclists all over my small Hill Country town this spring. Last week, this bitch rider wouldn't move over causing me and another car to cut it close going past him in a 45 mph zone due to oncoming traffic. I looked back and wannabe Lance Armstrong was squirting water on the car behind me that went past him. That's a bitch move especially when he had about 10 feet on asphalt on the right side of him (empty parking zone that time of day).

Why can't you do all three? And add in some BJJ while you're at it.

I've got no problem with cyclists. I just don't want to come up on one after he/she has been killed, and I certainly don't want to be the one killing them.

And riding single file on a two lane road with a speed limit of 50 mph in a touristy beach town, on a warm weather weekend, with every idiot on the road looking at the gulf or for their rental house is a good way to get killed.

I get it, its all legal and it can be a blast and great exercise. But I have been in 2 fender benders in the last ten years. They were due to simple inattention, neither my fault and thankfully neither were that serious. The problem is each one of the them would've killed or seriously injured a cyclist.

While I will do my best to be considerate to cyclists, it shouldn't be my responsibility to not hit you, it should be on you to not put yourself into a position to get hit.

Douche bags ride 3 wide against the yellow line then yell and flip you off when you don’t give them 3 feet on a small roads with no shoulder.

I’ll never understand how they have been allowed to keep using roadways for recreational purposes

I'm sure every semi driver feels the same way about cars.

Speaking of douchebags rolling coal, whatever happened with that dip shite kid in Texas who hit all those cyclists while he was failing to roll coal on them? His parents lose their house and retirement yet?

.Over the last six weeks this office has assigned its own investigators to seek out evidence, and to interview the victims and witnesses. We very much appreciate the patience of the victims and their attorneys as we have attempted to reconstruct the events, and to assess and gather the evidence that was not obtained that day. Today we have filed six felony charges of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon against the juvenile in question, one charge for each cyclist that was injured. Earlier today the juvenile voluntarily surrendered himself, and was detained by representatives from the juvenile justice department where he will be held in custody until further orders of the juvenile court. Thanks to the Waller County Sheriff’s Office and the Texas Department of Public Safety for their assistance in seeking justice for these individuals...

The teenager turned himself in on Monday prior to the DA’s public statement. As the DA notes, the teen is in custody pending word from the juvenile court.

My brother’s back is in bad shape and hurts all the time. With that said, I believe he would fire up so much his pain would be over-ridden and he’d go apeshit on one of those cyclists hogging the road and seeming to ignore the horn or blinking headlights.

He hates them so much. They hog the road but don’t pay taxes on the bike using the road as vehicles do.

I am neutral in that it doesn’t bother me unless there is an emergency, and then I may have to….you know…….get mad and take action.

It’s illegal and considerably more dangerous.

Cyclists take first place...always because they absolutely think the laws don't apply to them...until the large hurdling hunks of sheet metal come to close or hit them. Then it's all about the laws. #sharethesenuts

Second place is small children/teenagers in fricking golf carts. I'm gonna run over them because they don't stop at stop signs. Braxton and Karlee won't be able to corner the baseball/softball world in a wheel chair.

I actually do. I just ride on trails. I choose not to road cycle because I don’t want to be a hindrance to society.
