The other day I was driving in my neighborhood going east to west. As I approached an intersection, I was about to take a right turn (on my green light)and head north. This idiot cyclist decided to run his red light going north to south. I had to hit the break. Scared the shite out of me. Of course, would’ve been my fault if he would’ve got hit.

Just 15 minutes ago, two cyclist were in front of me at a different intersection. It was a red light. Back of the shirt of one guy stated “cyclists can use full lane”. I knew they were going to run the red light since people wearing shirts stating what rights they have are the most entitled people. Sure enough, they casually ran the red light . And it’s the 3rd time I’ve seen this in 3 months at this intersection.

For some reason these cyclists think they can break the laws but wants to be treated as everyone else on the road. Follow the rules or get off the road.

I used to hate those frickers when I lived in BR. They use up the road then jump on the sidewalk to avoid lights and traffic. One guy kicked my truck when I passed him. “Share the road”. frick those douche bags

Not even a little unpopular. Wannabe Lance Armstrongs are the worst.

Is a much more reasonable take than I expected on the OT. Do better, give me something to work with

The only disagreement you get from me is that it’s a popular opinion.

The larger the group of bikers, the less traffic rules they follow.

Cyclists should ride where it doesn't impede the flow of traffic. Plenty of roads with shoulders for them to use.

If they are on a road with traffic, they need to get over to let the cars pass.

I don’t know why the bastards can’t use a sidewalk instead of going 20mph on a 45mph road

I cycle a lot and yes there are a ton of douche bags who refuse to obey any form of traffic rules.
