Anti Cyclist bill in Montana

They want to be treated like a car until they come to a traffic signal or a stop sign and then they cruise right on by.

I have no issue with them on the road, but it's dangerous to ride with cars on highways and larger arteries.

Over 18 and on a bike? Needs a license plate.

Subject them to the same laws (traffic cameras) as me on the road.


This generates revenue and allows for some accountability.

They sure love turning into pedestrians when the light turns red

frick bicyclists. Scum of the earth who act like they own the roads.

Yes I'm mad.

Punish everyone instead of punishing the ones not following traffic laws

Isn't that the way everything works?

We require inspection stickers because same assholes don't maintain their cars.

We require insurance because some assholes don't account for their imperfections.

We have strict DUI laws because some people don't know when.


Granted, all of these apply to cars and not bikes, because bikes are above the law.

Perhaps they should have mandatory safety training for anyone over 16 that is riding on a non neighborhood street.

I'd rather be on the highway than on a neighborhood street. Much safer.

The only people who should be allowed to bike on roads are people who can't afford a car. You should have to get a state issued license to bike on the roads that has a maximum income/asset requirement.

I don't get how anyone could thinks it's ok to just ride a bike for recreation on a road with 4000 lb, fast moving hunks of metal. If it's "ok" to ride a bike on the side of the road, why not allow people to do cartwheels down the side of the road, or ride skateboards, or pogo stick?

Recreational bikers are pains in the arse that make the road more dangerous.

I used to get so mad when they would do this in morning rush hour traffic in Dallas. You'd have to drive slower than the speed limit until you could get around them. Then they'd ride past the cars that had just passed them and you have to drive below the speed limit again. The ones that I would encounter all did that.

What I didn't get was that they could have ridden a block north or south and been on a much less traveled road. I'm talking about Lovers Lane or Mockingbird Lane headed west through University Park.

Shouldn't be on the road anyway


They got rid of our center turning lane on west bayou in Lafayette to put in bike lanes for the 3 bikes that ride on it a week......thanks a lot hipsters
