re: EBR school bus hits pedestrian on bike

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.

Beerjeep in a bike thread? This is where I parked my Cannondale for the day.

I just love when darwin does his thing. People who ride bikes on busy arse roadways are stupid. Just because you can legally do something doesn't mean it's smart to do. I can legally walk along the edge of a cliff. But it's dumb. I can legally walk down plank road at 1 am. But it's dumb. I can legally ride a bike down Florida blvd during 5pm rush hour traffic, but once again... That's dumb.

Wanna ride a bike for exercise? There are plenty of areas to do that without posing a serious risk to yourself and motorist everywhere. Go down river road. Ride in neighborhoods. Ride down bike paths. But riding down busy arse roads on a 10 pound bike, forcing everyone to slow down and move over is not only rude as frick, it's dumb as frick.

Think of the interstate. Who's the most dangerous person? The person who's going slow and forcing everyone else to go around them
same shite with bikes. You're the problem. Not the cars. You don't go the speed limit. You force others to move out of the lane into opposing traffic, cause traffic jams, and look all around stupid as shite in spandex.
