Sorry but you have to have a death wish to bicycle on BR streets. This fool was biking at Foster and Florida. I hope the bus knocked some sense into him.

Which sucks because it'd be such an easy city to bike if the drivers weren't assholes to cyclists. I used to bike to work from Mid city to downtown and it was a fast, easy commute except when drivers would blow by honking the horn less than three feet only to turn right a second later.

Baton Rouge needs a PSA campaign for bicycle education - both for cyclists and drivers. I don't deny that some cyclists give a bad rap for the ones that ride properly.

How dumb do you have to be to run into a fricking school bus people who ride bikes down busy arse roads are idiots. Let's ride a 10 pound bike going 35 miles an hour slower than 1500+ lb vehicles just mere inches away! Genius I tell you!

Self preservation should kick in and say, hey, this is a stupid idea.

"But it's legal!"

So is walking inches away from a cliff. But that's stupid as frick too.

Darwinism at work.
