If they were serious, they'd be off road.

I already answered that..it’s because of distracted drivers and what appears as encouragement to drivers to pass many times where it’s illegal or dangerous. Instead, “owning the lane” on many in many instances is safer because it prevents a driver from trying to squeeze by where 3’ of distance can not be maintained

I don’t like doing it because I know it pisses people off so the cycle continues but that’s the reason and in many places around the world it works very very well. But, many places don’t have the amount of unhealthy and uneducated people per capita that we do in Louisiana

How does slipping into a spandex onesie to run through stop signs improve your self-esteem?


How does exercise leading to improved health, less chronic conditions, endorphin release, adrenaline rush, goal accomplishments lead to an improved self esteem?

People who cannot understand a direct correlation between exercise and improved mental and physical health cannot be expected to understand much beyond “I’ll have a number 7 super sized and a quarter pounder with cheese”.

Go look at the safest cities and states to cycle in the US and most of them are by in large educated, of well established above average income levels with healthy populations. It’s not a coincidence that the dumbest, fattest and poorest cities and states in the US are also some of the most dangerous to ride a bike.

You can do this on trails, not the road and everyone will be so much happier.

I specifically asked about the spandex and disregard for road rules. I’m surprised you were able to type such a long response since you seem to lack basic reading comprehension.

Go drive down river road on either side of the Mississippi River and you will want to get out and go beat some cyclist. And there are some who hate when cars pass them.. Im sorry bike boy, but I don't want to go 25 mph looking at you in those stupid tight bike shorts and that retarded helmet you wear.

The reason people hate cyclists is because it makes them feel bad about themselves and their fast food bags piling up on their front floorboard. Too many people just don't like others who yearn for self improvement and would rather shite on anyone pursuing a healthier lifestyle because it makes them feel better.


su·pe·ri·or·i·ty com·plex -

an attitude of superiority which conceals actual feelings of inferiority and failure.

You all know you are an inconvenience or hazard to every single vehicle that passes you...but you do it anyway...and justify it by claiming you are so much better than all people in cars. You know thats completely absurd but keep saying it. In reality, you're just wannabes that can't run, ate too much, and are now out frantically trying to burn off that extra salad dressing you had at brunch. And we know. It was with a motorists wife.

Its ok to go out and be a problem for 100s or 1000s of people because:

They're fat.
They've never left their state.
They're fat.
Their time is worthless.
They're fat.
They have no desire to improve.
They're just jealous.
They're really morbidly, obesely, huge fat. So much so they can't get out of their cars without help.

So you keep pedaling. Because the thought of not maintaining a calorie deficit today is more terrifying and more important to address than anything any of these fat lards could be trying to accomplish as they drive they're fat wagons down your bicycle path.

I'm going to keep hoping the laws catch up with the 21st century. Because you fruitcakes are clearly hopelessly delusional.

You can do it on both, which I do but I understand the snowflake mentality where people expect others to maintain their preferences. It’s pretty difficult to train for an Ironman on a TT bike if the majority of your riding is done off road.

I’ve found the best balance to be the majority of my riding be done indoors, cross training can be done off road but long rides on the road / pavement are not just vital, they’re almost necessary

No, people just expect you go be considerate.

Cyclists seem to think its a one way street.

4444,

You really love yourself and actually believe/think/judge others who hate selfish cyclists wannabes hogging a full lane and ignoring traffic laws willingly for your endorphin benefits, supposedly.

Runners high applies to ANY type of exercise routine- runners, sprinters, indoor bikes, stairmaster, treadmill, interval weight training, etc.

Cyclists weirdos do not have exclusive runners high benefits.

You spandex panty wearers need to hug the shoulder line or just stay off the fricking roads.

You really think that’s regulated to cyclists? It’s a selfish trait not a cyclist trait or a driver trait.

There are laws protecting cyclists and even on rides I will never defend those who break rules of the toad (running lights, stop signs, turning without signaling) but it’s naive to think that it’s either only or even primarily cyclists who view the issue from a one sided standpoint.

Cyclist get buzzed daily from drivers who never saw them break a rule of the road out of pure anger. They make take one instance they saw one day and apply it to someone else later so using that as a reason to explain the hostility and justify breaking laws as a driver and risking human life is paper thin.
